A planning drawing set inside a Tulse Hill conservation area loses permitted development, so the Tulse Hill submission is a householder application at £258 decided in 8 weeks — not a £120 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Streatham Hill a planning drawing set is judged on the street elevation first.
Tulse Hill and Article 4: Borough-wide Article 4 for HMO conversions; plus office-to-residential restrictions. A planning drawing set planned at a SE27 address is checked against that direction first; Lambeth Council publishes the Tulse Hill extent, and the SE27 line rarely follows the Tulse Hill boundary you would expect.
