Every Hammersmith and Fulham postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a garage conversion there. Hammersmith and Fulham fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not garage conversion estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a garage conversion |
|---|---|---|---|
| SW6 | Fulham / Parsons Green | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | Fulham / Parsons Green sits wholly inside SW6, so Hammersmith & Fulham Council validates every garage conversion submitted from an SW6 address. |
| W6 | Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | W6 covers Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village only; Hammersmith & Fulham Council handles the garage conversion, and Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village case officers apply the W6 conservation-area map. |
| W12 | Shepherd's Bush / White City | Victorian and Edwardian terraces | A garage conversion 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. |
| W14 | West Kensington / Barons Court | Victorian and Edwardian villas | W14 straddles a boundary: West Kensington / Barons Court addresses fall to Hammersmith & Fulham Council or RBKC Planning, so confirm which authority validates the garage conversion before submitting W14 drawings. |
| SW10 | West Brompton / World's End | Georgian and Victorian terraces, listed buildings | West Brompton / World's End is split at SW10. Either RBKC Planning or Hammersmith & Fulham Council can determine a garage conversion here, so the SW10 address is checked against both policies maps first. |
