What local planning policy applies to a drawing package in Streatham?
Conservation areas covering Streatham: Lambeth Council runs 64, and Kennington, Brockwell Park, Streatham Hill are the ones Streatham owners meet most. A drawing package inside a Streatham conservation area loses permitted development, so the Streatham submission is a householder application at £258 decided in 8 weeks — not a £120 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Streatham Hill a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.
Streatham and Article 4: Borough-wide Article 4 for HMO conversions; plus office-to-residential restrictions. A drawing package planned at a SW16 address is checked against that direction first; Lambeth Council publishes the Streatham extent, and the SW16 line rarely follows the Streatham boundary you would expect.
The building fabric around Streatham: Victorian terraces in Clapham, Brixton, Herne Hill; Edwardian villas; 1930s and post-war estates in parts of Streatham; Georgian in Kennington. Mix of dense Victorian residential and post-war estate; strong conservation area coverage; generally design-led planning decisions. A drawing package in Streatham is scoped against that stock first. Our Streatham fixed fee starts at £840; the £1,750 Complete package runs the Streatham scheme through Lambeth Council planning and building control in one go.

Croydon runs 24 conservation areas across CR0 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for Streatham are re-checked against Croydon policy whenever the Streatham address sits on that edge.
