Does Havering planning policy restrict a party wall package?

Havering conservation designations: there are 15 across Havering Council, Rainham Village, Romford Market, Upminster among them. Designation costs a Havering owner the permitted-development route: a party wall package then needs a £548 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £249 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Upminster is the Havering designation that most often changes a party wall package design.

No blanket Article 4 over Havering: Havering Council has not withdrawn permitted development across Havering, so a party wall package outside a Havering conservation area usually keeps it. The £274 Lawful Development Certificate is still the document a RM1 owner wants on file.

The building fabric around Havering: 1930s semi-detached dominates Hornchurch and Upminster; post-war in Harold Hill and Romford; Victorian in older Romford centre. Outer east London; Metropolitan Green Belt covers north of the borough; permissive residential planning; strong PD use. A party wall package in Havering 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 Havering Council.
