Kenton (HA3) is a 1930s semi-detached suburb straddling the Harrow–Brent border, where the everyday project is a rear kitchen extension, a hip-to-gable or L-shaped dormer loft, or a two-storey side extension that adds a bedroom while keeping the interwar frontage in proportion.

Around the Mount Stewart and Northwick Circle conservation areas we take extra care with roof form, materials and the building line, and we always confirm whether an address falls to Harrow Council so the application is validated first time.

Planning in Kenton (HA3): what to know before you apply

No published householder Article 4 direction, though the Mount Stewart and Northwick Circle conservation areas curb some permitted-development rights; the main watch-points are matching the semi-detached roofline and confirming the correct authority near the Harrow/Brent boundary.

Typical Kenton housing stock

Interwar semi-detached and short terraced houses laid out as a 1930s suburb straddling the Harrow and Brent border, typically with bay windows, hipped roofs and off-street parking. Plots are regular with modest-to-generous rear gardens well suited to single-storey additions.

Floor Plans for Kenton (HA3) homes: the package and the process

A floor plan is only as good as the survey behind it. Room dimensions taken from a laser survey rather than an estate agent's sketch, wall thicknesses drawn as they actually are, and structural walls distinguished from partitions — those are what make a plan usable for design work rather than just for marketing.

We issue plans at a stated scale with a scale bar, so they stay measurable when printed or resized, and supply them in formats that work for the next stage: a PDF to share, and CAD where an architect, engineer or kitchen designer needs to draw on top of it.

The plan itself carries the building's history. Chimney breasts, blocked openings, changes in floor level and an outrigger that has been extended more than once all show up in a measured plan, and they are precisely the things a sketched plan leaves out.

What are floor plans used for?

Floor plans serve several distinct purposes in London property: estate agents use them to market a sale or letting alongside photographs, giving buyers and tenants an accurate sense of layout and scale that a floor plan on its own can convey better than photos; solicitors and lenders often require a lease plan showing the demise of a flat within a building, particularly for leasehold sales or re-mortgages; landlords use them to document a property's layout for reference, insurance or portfolio management; and homeowners use them simply to have an accurate record of their existing layout, whether for their own reference or as the first step before considering any building work.

How accurate are laser-measured floor plans?

We measure every floor plan on site using a laser distance meter rather than a tape measure or estimation from photographs, which keeps room dimensions, wall thicknesses and door and window positions accurate to within a few millimetres. This matters more than it might seem: an estate agent's marketing plan that overstates a room's size can mislead a buyer and cause problems at survey stage, while a lease plan used for legal purposes needs to accurately reflect what a leaseholder actually owns. A laser-measured plan also means that if you later want to use it as the existing-layout drawing for a planning application, it is already accurate enough to build proposed drawings on top of, rather than needing to be re-measured.

How much do floor plans cost in London?

A single floor-plan set starts from £450, which covers a laser-measured site visit and scaled, dimensioned drawings of each floor of the property. The exact fee depends on the number of floors, the overall size of the property, and whether you need elevations or a site plan in addition to the floor plans themselves — for example, for a lease plan or as the base for a future planning application. This is a fixed fee agreed upfront, with no hourly billing.

FAQ

Floor Plans in Kenton HA3 — FAQs

How much do floor plans cost in London?+
Floor plans start from £450 for a laser-measured, scaled drawing of each floor, with the exact fee depending on the size of the property and the number of floors involved.
How long does it take to get floor plans?+
Most floor plans are ready within a few days of the site survey, considerably faster than a full planning drawing set, since there is no design or application work involved.
Can floor plans be used for a lease or mortgage application?+
Yes — laser-measured floor plans are commonly used as lease plans and for mortgage or re-mortgage purposes; let us know at the outset if you need a specific format or additional detail such as room areas.
Can I reuse my floor plans if I later want to extend or convert my loft?+
Yes — the laser survey behind your floor plans can usually be reused as the existing-layout base drawing for a future planning or building regulations application, saving you from a second site visit.
Do you provide floor plans for estate agents?+
Yes, floor plans are commonly instructed directly by homeowners or via their estate agent ahead of a sale or letting, drawn to scale and ready to use alongside marketing photography.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Harrow?+
Harrow's Metro-land semis and detached houses in Rayners Lane, Kenton and Stanmore suit hip-to-gable and dormer lofts, which frequently qualify as permitted development within the volume limits. The exceptions are the conservation areas — Harrow on the Hill and Pinner's historic core — and the Article 4 wards. We check your address and can confirm permitted development with a Lawful Development Certificate.
What does Harrow expect for a rear extension on a 1930s semi?+
The council pays close attention to preserving the rhythm and building line of its interwar suburban streets, so extensions are expected to respect the established line and roof form. Many single-storey rear extensions still fall within permitted development; where a full application is needed, we design to the borough's residential guidance so it validates and approves without repeated revisions.
Can I extend a home in Harrow on the Hill or Pinner?+
Yes, but these historic conservation areas carry a heritage setting and long views the council protects closely, so permitted development is often restricted and a full, context-led application is required. We design to the character of the area — materials, proportions and rooflines — and evidence the heritage considerations so the submission stands up.
How long does Harrow Council take to decide?+
Harrow determines most householder applications within the statutory eight-week period once validated. The commonest delay is a validation query, so we prepare Harrow submissions to the council's checklist with correctly scaled existing and proposed drawings and a location plan to keep the application on track.
How much do planning drawings cost in Harrow?+
We work to a fixed fee agreed upfront, usually around 30% below an architect's charge for the same council-accepted drawings, with free redraws until Harrow approves. The figure depends on the scheme — a dormer loft differs from a double-storey extension — so we confirm it once we understand your project rather than billing by the hour.
