Does Herne Hill planning policy restrict a planning drawing set?

Conservation areas covering Herne Hill: Lambeth Council runs 64, and Kennington, Brockwell Park, Streatham Hill are the ones Herne Hill owners meet most. A planning drawing set inside a Herne Hill conservation area loses permitted development, so the Herne Hill submission is a householder application at £258 decided in 8 weeks — not a £120 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Kennington a planning drawing set is judged on the street elevation first.

Article 4 and your Herne Hill planning drawing set: Borough-wide Article 4 for HMO conversions; plus office-to-residential restrictions. At a SE24 address that matters twice over, because Lambeth Council applies the direction unevenly across Herne Hill — we read the Herne Hill policies map for the exact SE24 address before quoting planning drawings.
