Architectural drawings in E5

E5 primarily covers Clapton in Hackney.

Decisions for E5 are made by Hackney Council. Standard Permitted Development rules apply for most rear extensions and loft conversions on terraced and semi-detached houses, unless the property is in a conservation area, is listed, or sits under an Article 4 Direction. Article 4 in Hackney: Yes.

Fixed fees: Planning drawings from £840 (Essentials) or £1,750 (Complete). Loft from £1,225. Mansard from £1,575. Building regs from £950. We do not charge hourly. Free site survey across all E5 addresses.

From first call to planning decision: typically 12–14 weeks. Site survey week 1, design weeks 2–3, validation 1–2 weeks, statutory 8-week determination. Hackney Council timelines align with the national norm.

Clapton in E5 is characterised by the housing stock of Hackney — broadly victorian terraces dominate.
