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.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a planning drawing set |
|---|---|---|---|
| W4 | Chiswick / Bedford Park | Arts & 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. |
| W3 | Acton | Victorian and Edwardian terraces | Acton 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. |
| W5 | Ealing | Edwardian villas, Victorian terraces | A planning drawing set at an W5 address in Ealing is determined by Ealing Council under its own Local Plan policies for Ealing. |
| W7 | Hanwell | Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | Hanwell sits wholly inside W7, so Ealing Council validates every planning drawing set submitted from an W7 address. |
| W13 | West Ealing | Edwardian terraces | W13 covers West Ealing only; Ealing Council handles the planning drawing set, and West Ealing case officers apply the W13 conservation-area map. |
| UB1 | Southall North | Edwardian terraces, post-war flats | A planning drawing set at an UB1 address in Southall North is determined by Ealing Council under its own Local Plan policies for Southall North. |
| UB2 | Southall South | Edwardian terraces, post-war flats | A planning drawing set at an UB2 address in Southall South is determined by Ealing Council under its own Local Plan policies for Southall South. |
| UB5 | Northolt | 1930s semi-detached, post-war estates | Northolt sits wholly inside UB5, so Ealing Council validates every planning drawing set submitted from an UB5 address. |
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.
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.

Leafy outer-west London; Bedford Park conservation area has strict heritage controls; rest of borough generally permissive.

Of 270 appeals on new-dwelling schemes decided in Ealing over the window covering appeals decided 2016-2026, Ealing was upheld more often than most London councils — only 16.3% of appeals succeeded, against 22.4% across London. 44 were allowed and 224 dismissed, with 2 split. Schemes creating a new home - conversions, infills, small developments - carry the most risk, and these 270 Ealing appeals are only the ones refused or left undetermined, never the approvals.
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.

Direct answers to the questions Ealing homeowners ask every week about planning permission drawings.
Start a free quote →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.
