How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a drawing package in Herne Hill?
Conservation areas covering Herne Hill: Lambeth Council runs 64, and Kennington, Brockwell Park, Streatham Hill are the ones Herne Hill owners meet most. A drawing package 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 Brockwell Park a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.
What Article 4 removes near Herne Hill: Borough-wide Article 4 for HMO conversions; plus office-to-residential restrictions. Before pricing a drawing package we check whether the SE24 address is inside the mapped area, because Lambeth Council draws the Herne Hill boundary street by street rather than across the whole of Herne Hill.
Herne Hill housing stock: Victorian terraces in Clapham, Brixton, Herne Hill; Edwardian villas; 1930s and post-war estates in parts of Streatham; Georgian in Kennington.

Read that before choosing a drawing package route in Herne Hill — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Architectural drawings in Herne Hill start at £840 on a fixed fee, or £1,750 for the Complete package covering both Lambeth Council submissions.
What happens if a Herne Hill property sits on a boundary?

Westminster runs 56 conservation areas across SW1 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for Herne Hill are re-checked against Westminster policy whenever the Herne Hill address sits on that edge.
