What local planning policy applies to a drawing package in Barnes?
How designation changes a Barnes drawing package: Richmond Council maintains 72 conservation areas, including Hampton Wick, Twickenham Riverside, Barnes Village. Inside any of them a Barnes drawing package cannot rely on permitted development, and the route becomes a £258 householder application determined in 8 weeks rather than a £120 prior approval in 6 weeks. Richmond Green sets the tone for Barnes casework.
Article 4 and your Barnes drawing package: Richmond Council has made no borough-wide direction, so permitted development for a drawing package in Barnes generally survives outside Barnes conservation areas and listed curtilages. A Lawful Development Certificate at £129 is how a SW13 owner records that a drawing package was lawful.
