New Build Drawings in Perivale UB6
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered new build drawings for Perivale (UB6) homeowners — London Borough of Ealing validation and local constraints handled from the start.
Perivale (UB6) is a well-preserved 1930s suburb of matching semis on curving avenues, where the bread-and-butter work is rear kitchen extensions, hip-to-gable loft conversions and rear dormers. The uniformity of the streetscape means Ealing's officers care about how a proposal reads against its neighbours, so faithful detailing matters more here than in a mixed-age street.
Perivale also sits in the orbit of the Art Deco Hoover Building on Western Avenue and the green ridge of Horsenden Hill, and the Canalside conservation area clips its north-west edge. We design extensions that echo the original bay, render and roof pitch, and we check tree cover and the canal-side boundary so schemes reach Ealing's approval standard first time.
Planning in Perivale (UB6): what to know before you apply
No published householder Article 4 direction in Perivale, so most householder work proceeds under permitted development or a standard Ealing application. Homes near the Canalside conservation area or backing onto Horsenden Hill's open space face tighter scrutiny on materials, roof form and tree protection.
Typical Perivale housing stock
Perivale is a planned interwar suburb of consistent 1930s semis and short terraces, many with curved bays, rendered gables and hipped tiled roofs, arranged on gently curving crescents. Streets rising towards Horsenden Hill keep deep rear gardens well suited to single-storey extensions and loft dormers.

New Build Drawings for Perivale (UB6) homes: the package and the process
Every new build drawings we prepare for an Perivale property is drawn to London Borough of Ealing’s validation standards and tuned to the UB6 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.
Designing a new dwelling on an infill or backland plot in London is a longer and more technically demanding journey than an extension or loft conversion — it involves establishing whether the plot can support a new home at all, securing full planning permission against a borough's density, design and amenity policies, and then producing a building regulations and structural package detailed enough to actually build from. DrawingsDirect delivers all of this as one coordinated service: feasibility, full planning drawings, building regulations drawings and structural calculations, produced in-house rather than passed between separate architects, engineers and drafters who each need briefing and coordinating separately.
London infill and backland sites bring specific challenges that a straightforward extension does not: the impact of a new dwelling on neighbouring daylight and sunlight, privacy and overlooking, the character and density of the surrounding streetscape, and access, parking and refuse arrangements for a new independent home. Getting an early, honest read on these issues — before a full application is drawn and submitted — is often the difference between a scheme that is approved and one that is refused and has to be reworked. We assess feasibility and, where useful, prepare pre-application advice before committing to a full drawing set.
Is my plot suitable for a new build in London?
A feasibility assessment looks at plot size and shape, access, existing boundary conditions, relevant planning policy for the borough, and the likely impact of a new dwelling on neighbouring properties before any design work begins. Infill plots — a gap between existing buildings on a street — and backland plots — a garden or yard site behind existing houses, reached by a shared access — each raise different issues: infill schemes are usually judged on how well they match the scale, spacing and character of the street, while backland schemes are judged heavily on overlooking, garden loss for neighbours, and whether the access arrangement is acceptable. A feasibility study gives an honest view of whether a scheme is likely to succeed before you commit to full drawings.
What does pre-application advice add to a new build project?
Pre-application advice is a formal, paid process most London boroughs offer, where planning officers give written feedback on a proposed scheme before a full application is submitted. For a new build — where the principle of development itself is often the main issue, not just the design details — this feedback can be invaluable: it surfaces concerns around density, massing, daylight and sunlight or heritage context early enough to be addressed in the drawings, rather than discovered for the first time as a refusal reason months into a full application. We prepare and submit pre-application enquiries as part of the new build service where it is likely to strengthen the eventual planning application.
