New build drawings in Palmers Green
Looking for new homes in Palmers Green? We do not sell property: we draw new houses for owners who are building one, and Enfield Council decides the application. Our planning drawings start from £1,450, with heights, distances and window positions set out clearly, because a daylight objection tends to turn on them.
Fixed fee from £1,250 drawings + £200 survey (£1,450 total) · all prices

Why daylight objections come up
A new house next to existing homes changes what neighbours see from their windows. When someone objects on daylight grounds, the case officer looks at the sections and elevations to judge the effect. Clear, dimensioned sections therefore do real work in an application. A formal daylight assessment, if requested, is a surveyor's report, and a private right of light is a separate legal question; neither is something we calculate.
Our planning drawings page explains what the standard set shows, and the measured building survey page explains how neighbouring heights and levels are recorded.

Conservation areas and the extra statement
Enfield accounts for 24 live entries in the national planning data platform's conservation-area records (our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area dataset); whether your Palmers Green plot is inside one is shown on Enfield's conservation area map. A design and access statement is required for development of one or more dwellings in one, according to government guidance. Our planning permission page covers the rest of the application.
Time and cost
The council has 8 weeks for an application that is not major development and 13 weeks for major development (article 34). Its fee is £610 per dwellinghouse for a full application for fewer than ten dwellinghouses. Our drawings start from £1,450; compare them with other fixed fees on the pricing page.
