How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a drawing package in Barnet?
Barnet conservation designations: there are 20 across Barnet Council, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Mill Hill, Hendon among them. Designation costs a Barnet owner the permitted-development route: a drawing package then needs a £258 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £120 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Hampstead Garden Suburb is the Barnet designation that most often changes a drawing package design.
Article 4 and your Barnet drawing package: Barnet Council has made no borough-wide direction, so permitted development for a drawing package in Barnet generally survives outside Barnet conservation areas and listed curtilages. A Lawful Development Certificate at £129 is how a N2 owner records that a drawing package was lawful.
Barnet housing stock: 1930s semi-detached dominates; Edwardian villas in Muswell Hill, Finchley; Garden Suburb Arts & Crafts in Hampstead Garden Suburb; post-war flats in Colindale. Suburban outer-London borough; permitted development used heavily; Hampstead Garden Suburb has its own residents' trust with additional design controls. Read that before choosing a drawing package route in Barnet — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Architectural drawings in Barnet start at £840 on a fixed fee, or £1,750 for the Complete package covering both Barnet Council submissions.
Who decides a drawing package on the edge of Barnet?
- Haringey — adjoining Barnet, with 29 conservation areas centred on N4. A drawing package on the far side of the Barnet line is determined by Haringey Council, so the Barnet quote for architectural drawings is checked against Haringey guidance before it is issued.
- Enfield — cross the Barnet boundary and Enfield Council takes the drawing package instead, applying 22 conservation areas of its own around EN1. We re-price architectural drawings at the Barnet edge because Enfield policy and Barnet policy rarely align on drawing package depth.
- Harrow — the Harrow boundary runs against Barnet, so a drawing package a street from Barnet is decided by Harrow Council instead. Harrow runs 29 conservation areas across HA1 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for Barnet are re-checked against Harrow policy whenever the Barnet address sits on that edge.
- Brent — the Brent boundary runs against Barnet, so a drawing package a street from Barnet is decided by Brent Council instead. Brent runs 22 conservation areas across NW2 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for Barnet are re-checked against Brent policy whenever the Barnet address sits on that edge.
