Which Ealing postcodes does this planning drawing set service cover?

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

PostcodeAreaDominant stockWhat it means for a planning drawing set
W4Chiswick / Bedford ParkArts & Crafts villas (listed)W4 straddles a boundary: Chiswick / Bedford Park addresses fall to Hounslow Council or Ealing Council, so confirm which authority validates the planning drawing set before submitting W4 drawings.
W3ActonVictorian and Edwardian terracesActon is split at W3. Either Ealing Council or Hounslow Council can determine a planning drawing set here, so the W3 address is checked against both policies maps first.
W5EalingEdwardian villas, Victorian terracesA planning drawing set at an W5 address in Ealing is determined by Ealing Council under its own Local Plan policies for Ealing.
W7HanwellEdwardian villas, 1930s semi-detachedHanwell sits wholly inside W7, so Ealing Council validates every planning drawing set submitted from an W7 address.
W13West EalingEdwardian terracesW13 covers West Ealing only; Ealing Council handles the planning drawing set, and West Ealing case officers apply the W13 conservation-area map.
UB1Southall NorthEdwardian terraces, post-war flatsA planning drawing set at an UB1 address in Southall North is determined by Ealing Council under its own Local Plan policies for Southall North.
UB2Southall SouthEdwardian terraces, post-war flatsA planning drawing set at an UB2 address in Southall South is determined by Ealing Council under its own Local Plan policies for Southall South.
UB5Northolt1930s semi-detached, post-war estatesNortholt sits wholly inside UB5, so Ealing Council validates every planning drawing set submitted from an UB5 address.

Which Ealing neighbourhoods suit a planning drawing set best?

Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Ealing 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 Ealing?

Ealing conservation designations: there are 30 across Ealing Council, Pitshanger, Bedford Park, Acton Green among them. Designation costs a Ealing owner the permitted-development route: a planning drawing set then needs a £548 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £249 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Pitshanger is the Ealing designation that most often changes a planning drawing set design.

Ealing and Article 4: Article 4 for HMOs in specific streets in Acton, Ealing and Southall. A planning drawing set planned at a W3 address is checked against that direction first; Ealing Council publishes the Ealing extent, and the W3 line rarely follows the Ealing boundary you would expect.

Ealing housing stock: Victorian and Edwardian villas in Ealing central; 1930s semi-detached in Northolt and Hanwell; mansion blocks along main roads; Bedford Park is a listed Arts & Crafts garden suburb. Leafy outer-west London; Bedford Park conservation area has strict heritage controls; rest of borough generally permissive. Read that before choosing a planning drawing set route in Ealing — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Ealing Council charges £548 for a householder application and has 8 weeks to determine it.

How often do appeals against Ealing succeed?

107 daysmedian time from appeal start to decision

Half of those Ealing appeals took more than 107 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. 96.3% were decided by written representations rather than a hearing or inquiry, meaning the written case and the drawings were the whole of the evidence.

How much do planning drawings cost in Ealing?

Our Ealing 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. Ealing Council also charges its own statutory application fee on top, set nationally. See our fees for current figures.

Once validated, Ealing 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 Ealing have Article 4 Directions?

Yes — Ealing has Article 4 Directions in force. Article 4 for HMOs in specific streets in Acton, Ealing and Southall. Article 4 removes specific permitted development rights that would otherwise apply, meaning full planning permission is required where PD would normally be sufficient. We check Article 4 status for your specific property before quoting.
