Edwardian villas, conservation. Planning authority: Three Rivers DC.
We prepare architectural drawings across Chorleywood and the surrounding area — Chorleywood, Chorleywood Common, Chenies border and Loudwater and the streets between them. The stock here is largely Edwardian and Arts-and-Crafts villas and large detached houses on generous, heavily-treed plots, and we draw for every one of those types for submission to Three Rivers District Council.
Almost all of Chorleywood lies within the Chilterns National Landscape (AONB) and the Metropolitan Green Belt, with conservation areas around the Common, so extensions and replacement dwellings are held to a high landscape and design standard by Three Rivers. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the local Hertfordshire streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.

Every householder application in Chorleywood is decided by Three Rivers District Council, with a statutory 8-week determination. Allow around 12–14 weeks from first call to decision once the measured survey, design and validation are included. We research the council's Local Plan and recent decisions before drawing, and we hold a 98% first-time approval rate across our work.
