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.

Planning Drawings for Perivale (UB6) homes: the package and the process

Every planning 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.

Planning drawings are the scale drawings a London council uses to judge your application: existing and proposed floor plans, elevations, sections and site plans that show the design, scale and neighbour impact of your project. DrawingsDirect produces complete, validation-ready planning drawing sets for extensions, lofts and conversions across London.

What is included in a planning drawing set?

A council will only validate an application that contains the right drawings at the right scale. Our standard planning set covers everything a London validation team expects.

  • Site location plan (1:1250) and block plan (1:500)
  • Existing floor plans, elevations and sections
  • Proposed floor plans, elevations and sections
  • Roof plans where relevant, with heights and materials annotated
  • A design and access or heritage statement where the borough requires one

How are planning drawings different from building regulations drawings?

Planning drawings show what the building will look like and how it sits in its context. Building regulations drawings show how it will be built safely — structure, insulation, fire escape and drainage. Most projects need both; our Complete package covers the two together with structural calculations coordinated in-house.

FAQ

Planning Drawings in Perivale UB6 — FAQs

What scale should London planning drawings be?+
Site location plans are 1:1250, block plans 1:500, and floor plans, elevations and sections are typically 1:100 or 1:50. We format every drawing to your specific borough's requirements.
Do I need an architect to produce planning drawings?+
No. MCIAT-chartered architectural technologists produce the same council-accepted planning drawings with the same professional accountability, and councils assess the drawings, not the author's job title.
How many revisions are included in the fee?+
All of them. The fee is fixed and we redraw free until your council approves — revisions requested by a planning officer never cost you extra.
Can you draw from my existing plans?+
We can work from existing measured drawings, but for accuracy we usually carry out a laser survey so the proposed set matches your property exactly.
Do planning drawings guarantee approval?+
No drawing can guarantee a decision, but drawing to the local plan and validation checklist maximises your odds — and we redraw free until approval.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Ealing?+
Many Ealing semis and terraces keep permitted development rights for a single-storey rear extension, so a full application isn't always needed. But the borough-wide Article 4 direction on HMO conversions, and conservation areas such as Bedford Park and Pitshanger, remove or restrict those rights in places. We check your address against the designations first and, where it qualifies, confirm permitted development with a Lawful Development Certificate.
What extra control applies in Bedford Park?+
Bedford Park is one of West London's most tightly controlled conservation areas, with detailed control over materials, rooflines, windows and front elevations. A standard permitted-development dormer or cladding change usually won't apply; instead we design to the area's Arts-and-Crafts character and prepare a full householder application with the elevations and materials the council expects — the reliable route to approval there.
How long does Ealing Council take to decide a householder application?+
Ealing determines most householder applications within the statutory eight-week period once they are validated. The commonest cause of delay is a validation query over missing or inconsistent drawings, so we prepare Ealing submissions to the council's validation checklist — correctly scaled existing and proposed plans, elevations and a location plan — to avoid that back-and-forth.
Can you help with a loft conversion on a 1930s Ealing semi?+
Yes. Ealing's Metro-land semis in Perivale, Greenford and Northolt suit hip-to-gable and dormer loft conversions, which frequently qualify as permitted development on semi-detached homes within the volume limits. We confirm eligibility against those limits and any Article 4 or conservation constraint, then produce the planning and building-regulations drawings.
How much do planning drawings cost in Ealing?+
We work to a fixed fee agreed before we start, typically around 30% below an architect's charge for the same council-accepted drawings, with free redraws until Ealing grants approval. The exact figure depends on the project — a single-storey rear extension differs from a double-storey or a loft — so we quote once we understand your scheme rather than on an open-ended hourly basis.
