Planning permission drawings, loft conversions, and extensions for Northfields' Edwardian terraces and family homes. MCIAT chartered, Ealing planning expertise built in.
Northfields sits in the W13 postcode within the London Borough of Ealing. The neighbourhood's well-maintained streets of Edwardian terraces and inter-war houses — centred on the Piccadilly line station — make it one of west London's most popular family areas.
Edwardian terraces: Northfields' Edwardian terraces are among the best preserved in Ealing, with decorative features, good room proportions, and generous roof voids. Rear dormers and single-storey rear extensions are the most popular project types. We design schemes that respect the period character while maximising interior space.
Northfields Conservation Area: The conservation area covers the streets immediately surrounding the station. Article 4 Directions restrict permitted development rights, meaning planning permission is required for dormer conversions, window replacements, and front alterations. Heritage Statements must accompany applications. Our MCIAT-chartered team prepares conservation-sensitive designs.
Inter-war housing: Northfields' 1930s semis and detached houses are suitable for hip-to-gable loft conversions, side extensions, and rear extensions. Outside the conservation area, these can often proceed under permitted development.
Ealing design standards: Ealing Council has clear design expectations for residential extensions. We ensure our schemes comply with local guidance on materials, proportions, and streetscape impact.
