Which postcode districts around Bromley do we cover for planning drawing set work?

Every Bromley postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a planning drawing set there. Bromley fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not planning drawing set estimates.

Which Bromley neighbourhoods suit a planning drawing set best?

Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Bromley streets, and each one changes what a planning drawing set can achieve at that address.

What local planning policy applies to a planning drawing set in Bromley?

Conservation areas covering Bromley: Bromley Council runs 48, and Keston, Bickley, Bromley Town are the ones Bromley owners meet most. A planning drawing set inside a Bromley conservation area loses permitted development, so the Bromley submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Chislehurst a planning drawing set is judged on the street elevation first.

Bromley permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Bromley Council, so a planning drawing set at a SE20 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £274 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Bromley sale to argue it later.

Bromley housing stock: Large 1930s detached and semi-detached in Chislehurst and Bickley; Edwardian in Beckenham; Victorian in Bromley town; Metropolitan Green Belt covers significant rural-fringe land. Largest London borough by area; substantial Green Belt; conservation areas in most town centres; generally permissive elsewhere. Read that before choosing a planning drawing set route in Bromley — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Bromley Council charges £548 for a householder application and has 8 weeks to determine it.

How often do appeals against Bromley succeed?

Of 820 appeals on new-dwelling schemes decided in Bromley over the window covering appeals decided 2016-2026, Bromley sat close to the London norm, with 27.3% of appeals succeeding against 22.4% city-wide. 224 were allowed and 595 dismissed, with 1 split. Schemes creating a new home - conversions, infills, small developments - carry the most risk, and these 820 Bromley appeals are only the ones refused or left undetermined, never the approvals.

118 daysmedian time from appeal start to decision

Half of those Bromley appeals took more than 118 days to decide from the day the appeal started — time added on top of the council's own determination period, which is the argument for getting the application right first. 96.1% were decided by written representations rather than a hearing or inquiry, meaning the written case and the drawings were the whole of the evidence.

Direct answers to the questions Bromley homeowners ask every week about planning permission drawings.

How much do planning drawings cost in Bromley?

Our Bromley planning fee is fixed before we start and depends on the route — a householder application is the simplest, while major works, change of use and flat conversions carry more drawings and supporting documents. Bromley Council also charges its own statutory application fee on top, set nationally. See our fees for current figures.

How long does Bromley Council take to decide planning applications?

Once validated, Bromley Council aims to decide householder applications within 8 weeks and major applications within 13 weeks — consistent with statutory targets. Our typical end-to-end timeline from instruction to submission is 3–4 weeks.

Does Bromley have Article 4 Directions?

Bromley does not currently have a borough-wide Article 4 Direction for residential extensions or HMO conversions. Most householder permitted development rights apply normally in Bromley — though conservation areas and listed buildings still restrict PD. We confirm at the free site survey.

Which conservation areas are in Bromley?

Bromley has 48 designated conservation areas, including Bromley Town, Chislehurst, Beckenham and others. Planning applications within conservation areas require additional heritage consideration and often a Heritage Statement.

Do I need a planning consultant for Bromley?

For most householder work in Bromley, a chartered architectural technologist delivers the same planning outcomes as a dedicated consultant — usually at lower cost. Our MCIAT-chartered team handles drawings, submission and agent liaison as one package.

What postcodes in Bromley do you cover for planning drawings?

We cover all Bromley postcodes — BR1, BR2, BR3, BR4, BR5, BR6, BR7, BR8, SE6, SE9, SE12, SE20, SE26 — as well as the immediately adjacent boroughs. Survey appointments are available within 3 working days across Bromley.

How does Bromley's character affect planning applications?

Bromley's large 1930s detached and semi-detached in Chislehurst and Bickley housing stock and 48 conservation areas mean that design quality matters. Bromley Council officers are experienced reviewers; well-drawn, consistent applications are processed faster than revisions-heavy ones.

Can I appeal a planning refusal in Bromley?

Yes — Planning Inspectorate appeals are available as a right within 12 weeks of refusal from Bromley Council. Written representations take 16–20 weeks; hearings 24–32 weeks. We prepare appeal statements and revised drawings for cases where refusal was on design or policy grounds.
