Checking the street before you design
There are 33 conservation-area entries for Haringey on the national register held by the planning data platform (our analysis of MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area datasets, retrieved 14 August 2026).

What goes on the plans
GOV.UK planning practice guidance on making an application says plans and drawings must be drawn to an identified scale and show the direction of north. For a location plan, the typical scale it names is 1:1250 or 1:2500.
Once the survey is done, floor plans and extension drawings can be produced to that standard.
