Floor plans for homes in West Drayton, UB7
Floor plans for a West Drayton home start at £275, as a fixed fee from DrawingsDirect. We measure the property and draw each storey to scale, so the plan is right for a sale listing, a letting or a lease, and doubles as the existing layout if you later apply to Hillingdon Council.

Who needs floor plans in West Drayton?
Mostly four kinds of owner. Sellers want a plan that matches the house, not a sketch that disagrees with the rooms. Landlords want a record of the layout they let. Leaseholders need a plan to go with a lease. Buyers who plan to knock walls through want to see the dimensions before they commit to a design.
In each case the drawing is the same, a scaled plan of every level. Only the use changes. Our fixed fee for scaled floor plans for sale, letting or lease starts at £275, and the pricing page shows what a larger house costs.
What makes a plan usable rather than decorative?
Scale. The national planning guidance says plans and drawings must be drawn to an identified scale and must show the direction of north. A plan with no stated scale cannot be measured from, however neat it looks.
A floor plan is one sheet of the set. A planning application also wants a location plan, which the same guidance says should typically be at 1:1250 or 1:2500. Our location and block plans service draws those, and the making an application guidance lists the rest.
West Drayton sits in a borough with 42 live conservation-area entries on the national register, by our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area dataset (snapshot retrieved 14 August 2026).
How Hillingdon treats householder applications
Our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2, shows Hillingdon made 1,147 householder decisions, including prior approvals, over the four quarters from 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q2. It granted 90% of them.
That figure describes the council's recent record, not what will happen to your application, which depends on the design and the site. It does tell you that most householder proposals in the borough are not refused, and that clean, accurate drawings are the normal starting point.
Do you need an application at all?
Some work does not. A lawful development certificate confirms in writing that a project is permitted development, and it needs existing plans like ours. Our analysis of the same release, table PS1, shows Hillingdon decided 1,136 certificates over the eight quarters from 2024 Q3 to 2026 Q2.
Our lawful development certificate drawings service covers the proposed side. If you are unsure which route fits, our guide to the certificate explains who needs one.
Conservation areas in Hillingdon
West Drayton sits in a borough with 42 live conservation-area entries on the national register, by our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area dataset (snapshot retrieved 14 August 2026). The register does not draw the lines for you: Hillingdon Council's own conservation area map does, so check your street on it before you plan any change to the front of the house.
Inside one, the street view carries extra weight, so elevations matter as much as plans. Our guide to conservation area extension rules sets out what to expect.
Appeals: a record, not a forecast
Between 2021 and 2026, inspectors decided 415 householder appeals against Hillingdon decisions and allowed 43% of them, according to our analysis of the Planning Inspectorate Casework Database (released 1 October 2026). An inspector decides from the drawings and the council's reasons, so keep the survey and plans on file.
