How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a party wall package in Bexley?

Conservation areas covering Bexley: Bexley Council runs 16, and Bexley Village, Old Bexley, Crayford are the ones Bexley owners meet most. A party wall package inside a Bexley conservation area loses permitted development, so the Bexley submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Crayford a party wall package is judged on the street elevation first.

Bexley permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Bexley Council, so a party wall package at a DA1 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £274 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Bexley sale to argue it later.

Bexley housing stock: 1930s semi-detached dominates; Victorian cottages in Bexley Village and Crayford; post-war estates in Thamesmead and Erith. Outer south-east London suburban; very permissive planning environment; strong PD uptake for extensions and loft conversions. Read that before choosing a party wall package route in Bexley — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Bexley Council charges £548 for a householder application and has 8 weeks to determine it.

Who decides a party wall package on the edge of Bexley?

• Greenwich — adjoining Bexley, with 20 conservation areas centred on SE3. A party wall package on the far side of the Bexley line is determined by Greenwich Council, so the Bexley quote for party wall services is checked against Greenwich guidance before it is issued.
• Bromley — the Bromley boundary runs against Bexley, so a party wall package a street from Bexley is decided by Bromley Council instead. Bromley runs 48 conservation areas across BR1 and its neighbours, which is why party wall services priced for Bexley are re-checked against Bromley policy whenever the Bexley address sits on that edge.
