From measured survey to finished plan

We visit, measure every room and opening, and draw the existing layout before anything is proposed. Only then do we overlay your changes. Working in that order keeps the proposed drawing honest, because it sits on the real building.

The fieldwork is our measured building survey in Ealing. If you also want a drawing set for the council, see our architectural drawings.

Ealing and its householder decisions

Southall is in the London Borough of Ealing. Our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2 (released 24 Sep 2026) counts 946 householder decisions over the four quarters from 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q2, prior approvals included.

Without the prior approvals, 96% of Ealing's householder decisions were made within 8 weeks. Read how applications work locally on our planning permission in Ealing page.

Ealing's conservation areas, and the article 4 register around UB2

The national register shows 31 conservation-area entries for Ealing in our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform datasets (bulk snapshot retrieved 14 Aug 2026), so confirm a Southall street on Ealing Council's conservation area map.

For article 4 directions, our analysis of the same platform's article-4-direction-area dataset (entity API, retrieved 15 Oct 2026) finds 2 live register rows around the UB2 centroid. Both are Hounslow Council directions, and the register holds no Ealing rows at all. It is incomplete, so it cannot tell you whether an Ealing direction covers your road: check your own address with the council.

Scale, north and the location plan

The government's guidance on making an application says drawings need an identified scale and must show north, and that a location plan is typically 1:1250 or 1:2500. Every floor plan we draw follows that, so it can be reused in an application without redrawing.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What is floor planning and why do I need it in Southall?
It is the process of measuring a property and drawing every room to scale. You need it as the starting point for an extension, loft or layout change, or simply to have an accurate record.
Is there an article 4 direction on my Southall street?
The register snapshot we analysed cannot answer that. Its 2 live entries around UB2 are both Hounslow Council directions, and it lists none for Ealing, but it is incomplete. Send us your address and we will check it.
Do you also cover Greenford and Ealing?
Yes, we work across the London Borough of Ealing, including Southall and Greenford.
