Plans for a Northolt rear extension

A rear extension application rests on the floor plan: it shows the new room, the opened-up wall and the revised layout beside the original. We survey first, so the existing plan matches the house you actually own.

See our rear extension drawings for the stages after the floor plans.

Article 4 and conservation checks for UB5

Our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform article-4-direction-area dataset (retrieved 15 Oct 2026) counts 1 live register row near the centre of the UB5 postcode district, covering residential extensions. The register is incomplete, so treat 1 as a lower bound, not proof of coverage.

Our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area dataset (snapshot retrieved 14 Aug 2026) finds 31 live conservation-area entries for Ealing on the national register. Confirm both for your address, using Ealing's conservation area map for the second, before you rely on permitted development.

The drawing rules we work to

The planning practice guidance says drawings must carry an identified scale and plans must show north. It gives 1:1250 as the typical scale for a location plan.
