Does Chiswick planning policy restrict a drawing package?

Conservation areas covering Chiswick: Hounslow Council runs 30, and Old Isleworth, Brentford, Chiswick are the ones Chiswick owners meet most. A drawing package inside a Chiswick conservation area loses permitted development, so the Chiswick submission is a householder application at £258 decided in 8 weeks — not a £120 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Bedford Park a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.

Article 4 and your Chiswick drawing package: Hounslow Council has made no borough-wide direction, so permitted development for a drawing package in Chiswick generally survives outside Chiswick conservation areas and listed curtilages. A Lawful Development Certificate at £129 is how a W4 owner records that a drawing package was lawful.

What happens if a Chiswick property sits on a boundary?

• Hillingdon — cross the Chiswick boundary and Hillingdon Council takes the drawing package instead, applying 29 conservation areas of its own around HA4. We re-price architectural drawings at the Chiswick edge because Hillingdon policy and Hounslow policy rarely align on drawing package depth.
• Ealing — the Ealing boundary runs against Hounslow, so a drawing package a street from Chiswick is decided by Ealing Council instead. Ealing runs 30 conservation areas across W3 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for Chiswick are re-checked against Ealing policy whenever the Chiswick address sits on that edge.
• Hammersmith and Fulham — the Hammersmith and Fulham boundary runs against Hounslow, so a drawing package a street from Chiswick is decided by Hammersmith & Fulham Council instead. Hammersmith and Fulham runs 45 conservation areas across W6 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for Chiswick are re-checked against Hammersmith and Fulham policy whenever the Chiswick address sits on that edge.
• Richmond upon Thames — adjoining Chiswick, with 72 conservation areas centred on SW13. A drawing package on the far side of the Chiswick line is determined by Richmond Council, so the Chiswick quote for architectural drawings is checked against Richmond upon Thames guidance before it is issued.
