This page covers the western part of the borough — Ravenscourt Park, Askew, Starch Green and Bedford Park fringe and the streets around them. The stock here is largely Victorian terraces on leafy streets near the Bedford Park estate, and we prepare drawings across every one of those types for Hammersmith & Fulham Council.
The Ravenscourt and Starch Green conservation areas shape the west, where period-sensitive rear and loft extensions on the terraced streets are the everyday project. Whichever route your address falls under, we confirm it free at the measured survey and design to match the western Hammersmith and Fulham streetscape — from period rear and side-return extensions to rear-dormer and mansard loft conversions.


Every application in West Hammersmith and Fulham is decided by Hammersmith & Fulham Council. Householder applications carry 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 hold a 98% first-time approval rate across Hammersmith and Fulham.
Article 4 Direction: Article 4 removes PD for HMO conversions; restrictions on ground-floor shop-to-residential in certain streets.

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.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a drawing package |
|---|---|---|---|
| SW6 | Fulham / Parsons Green | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | A 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. |
| W6 | Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village | Victorian terraces, mansion blocks | Hammersmith / Brackenbury Village sits wholly inside W6, so Hammersmith & Fulham Council validates every drawing package submitted from an W6 address. |
| W12 | Shepherd's Bush / White City | Victorian and Edwardian terraces | A 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. |
| W14 | West Kensington / Barons Court | Victorian and Edwardian villas | West 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. |
| SW10 | West Brompton / World's End | Georgian and Victorian terraces, listed buildings | A 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. |
