Which postcode districts around Hammersmith and Fulham do we cover for drawing package work?

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

PostcodeAreaDominant stockWhat it means for a drawing package
SW6Fulham / Parsons GreenVictorian terraces, mansion blocksA drawing package at an SW6 address in Fulham / Parsons Green is determined by Hammersmith & Fulham Council under its own Local Plan policies for Fulham / Parsons Green.
W6Hammersmith / Brackenbury VillageVictorian terraces, mansion blocksHammersmith / Brackenbury Village sits wholly inside W6, so Hammersmith & Fulham Council validates every drawing package submitted from an W6 address.
W12Shepherd's Bush / White CityVictorian and Edwardian terracesA drawing package at an W12 address in Shepherd's Bush / White City is determined by Hammersmith & Fulham Council under its own Local Plan policies for Shepherd's Bush / White City.
W14West Kensington / Barons CourtVictorian and Edwardian villasWest Kensington / Barons Court is split at W14. Either Hammersmith & Fulham Council or RBKC Planning can determine a drawing package here, so the W14 address is checked against both policies maps first.
SW10West Brompton / World's EndGeorgian and Victorian terraces, listed buildingsA drawing package in West Brompton / World's End may land with RBKC Planning or Hammersmith & Fulham Council — SW10 crosses the boundary, and the SW10 policies map decides it street by street.

What changes about a drawing package in each part of Hammersmith and Fulham?

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

How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a drawing package in Hammersmith and Fulham?

Conservation areas covering Hammersmith and Fulham: Hammersmith & Fulham Council runs 45, and Walham Green, Hammersmith Grove, Brackenbury Village are the ones Hammersmith and Fulham owners meet most. A drawing package inside a Hammersmith and Fulham conservation area loses permitted development, so the Hammersmith and Fulham submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Brackenbury Village a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.

What Article 4 removes near Hammersmith and Fulham: Article 4 removes PD for HMO conversions; restrictions on ground-floor shop-to-residential in certain streets. Before pricing a drawing package we check whether the SW6 address is inside the mapped area, because Hammersmith & Fulham Council draws the Hammersmith and Fulham boundary street by street rather than across the whole of Hammersmith and Fulham.

The building fabric around Hammersmith and Fulham: Victorian and Edwardian terraces — particularly two-storey bay-fronted terraces south of the river in Fulham and Parsons Green; mansion blocks along main roads. Suburban-feel residential streets with strong conservation area coverage; well-established mansard precedents on many terraces. A drawing package in Hammersmith and Fulham is scoped against that stock first, because it decides whether the scheme runs as permitted development, a £274 Lawful Development Certificate, or a full £548 application to Hammersmith & Fulham Council.

What happens if a Hammersmith and Fulham property sits on a boundary?
