For West Ealing property owners: MCIAT chartered measured floor plans and elevations. West Ealing planning decisions are made by Ealing Council, working to Ealing Local Plan policy across the W13 district.
Architectural Drawings in West Ealing are scaled West Ealing floor plans, elevations and sections describing a W13 property as existing and as proposed. Ealing Council is the authority for every W13 address, they start with a laser measured survey of the West Ealing address and carry every W13 submission to Ealing Council, householder application through to full plans, and the Ealing Local Plan sets the policy test.
An Article 4 Direction applies across Ealing, so check it before assuming West Ealing permitted development survives. Because West Ealing is Edwardian terraces, the officer's assessment leans on streetscape impact around West Ealing station as much as on the numbers. West Ealing sits close enough to Hanwell that designation should be checked at the outset, not after design. We plot the West Ealing site against the designation before quoting.
The West Ealing Article 4 position is established at survey, before design. On West Ealing stock the constraint is physical before it is planning: the edwardian terraces fixes the rear wall line and the West Ealing station roofline caps the ridge. The borough policy layer over every W13 address is set out on Ealing planning. The West Ealing survey then carries into house extension drawings in West Ealing if the project runs on to construction.



Before Ealing Council determines anything, London Borough of Ealing has to validate the West Ealing submission — one to two weeks, longer if a plan is missing. Everything begins by measuring the West Ealing property properly — openings, levels, structure — before a proposal exists.
Statutory periods: 8 weeks from validation for a householder application, 13 weeks for a major scheme, 6 weeks for prior approval with a 21 days neighbour consultation, and 5 weeks for a full plans building control submission. A party structure notice requires one month notice and two months where excavation is involved.
Amendments during the West Ealing determination are handled without a resubmission where possible. We issue the W13 drawings numbered and revision-controlled.
Speaking to W13 neighbours before submission avoids most of it. A West Ealing measured survey captures the roof structure as well as the plan.
Most West Ealing terraces share a flank wall, so party wall notices apply. Once consent is granted, planning permission follows for the W13 property.
West Ealing is characterised by edwardian terraces, concentrated across W13 in the West Ealing area. Every West Ealing scheme starts from what is actually there: edwardian terraces, surveyed to the millimetre before a proposal is drawn. On the West Ealing stock specifically: edwardian back additions here are often out of plumb, which matters once a steel goes in. In W13 that determines the depth we can draw. A West Ealing proposal that breaks the prevailing eaves line invites a refusal.
Subterranean W13 work needs a structural case as much as a planning one. Where the project also touches building regulations drawings for W13 properties or loft conversion drawings, the same measured survey of the West Ealing property carries across — you pay for the survey once, not per application.
No add-ons later — the West Ealing scope is set out here.
Surveyors travel to W13 addresses from the studio; the nearest stations are West Ealing, File:West Ealing Station 2047831.jpg, Castle Bar Park, Drayton Green. Appointments are booked in West Ealing on weekdays and Saturdays, and the measured survey of a standard edwardian terraces takes two to three hours.

Practical detail for a West Ealing submission: the nearest stations are West Ealing and File:West Ealing Station 2047831.jpg and Castle Bar Park and Drayton Green; the West Ealing post town is LONDON; dialling code 020. Site plans are drawn to the address as Ealing Council holds it.
Surveys run across W13 (West Ealing), which West Ealing holds on its own throughout Ealing.
Recent West Ealing jobs sit on Castlebar Hill and Uxbridge Road. most West Ealing sites are within walking distance of West Ealing or File:West Ealing Station 2047831.jpg or Castle Bar Park.
West Ealing aside, we also cover Ealing Broadway (W5), Acton (W3), Hanwell (W7), Southall (UB1, UB2), Greenford (UB6), Northolt (UB5) and the Hounslow boundary.

The variables on a W13 job are structural: party walls, floor levels, and whether the Hanwell designation adds a heritage statement.
Statutory application fees are set by regulation, not by the council: £548 householder, £610 for a new dwelling, £274 for a lawful development certificate, £249 for prior approval.
The statutory element is payable to London Borough of Ealing, not to us. London planning approval-rate dataset · Ealing planning · the London architectural drawings pillar page · architectural drawings in Ealing Broadway.
The person drawing your West Ealing scheme holds MCIAT charter and carries the technical responsibility for it. Where Hanwell or a W13 party wall complicates a West Ealing scheme, Ealing Council sees it early.
Drawings are produced by chartered members of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (MCIAT), the professional body for technical design and building-regulations competence. First-time approval across our London caseload is 98%. Statutory fees shown are those in force in England in 2026 under the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications) Regulations. Confirm your local authority at gov.uk and submission requirements on the Planning Portal. Studio: 71–75 Shelton Street, London WC2H 9JQ.
Book the West Ealing survey and the drawings follow within the agreed programme. This West Ealing page was reviewed in August 2026.
Not always. Where a West Ealing property is a house rather than a flat, is unlisted and sits outside Hanwell, many W13 projects run under permitted development. An Article 4 Direction applies across Ealing, so check it before assuming West Ealing permitted development survives. We confirm the route free at survey and, where the evidence trail matters for a W13 sale, submit a lawful development certificate at £274.
Parts of West Ealing fall inside Hanwell. There, the character appraisal — not the size limits — sets what will pass.
Most West Ealing instructions are edwardian terraces; each is measured before we draw.
All of Ealing and the neighbouring Hounslow. Ealing Broadway is the closest patch to West Ealing, but its constraints are not identical.
