What changes about a drawing package in each part of IG11?

• Inside IG11: Barking (IG11) — drawing package work in Barking means victorian terraces, post-war flats, new-build. Barking is Victorian centre, regen riverside. Barking and Dagenham Council decides the Barking application, and Barking Town Hall anchors the Barking location plan.

How do conservation areas and Article 4 affect a drawing package in IG11?

IG11 (Barking) conservation designations: there are 9 across Barking and Dagenham Council, Becontree Estate (historic), Eastbury, Valence House among them. Designation costs a IG11 (Barking) owner the permitted-development route: a drawing package then needs a £548 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £249 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Valence House is the IG11 (Barking) designation that most often changes a drawing package design.

Article 4 and your IG11 (Barking) drawing package: Barking and Dagenham Council has made no borough-wide direction, so permitted development for a drawing package in IG11 (Barking) generally survives outside IG11 (Barking) conservation areas and listed curtilages. A Lawful Development Certificate at £274 is how a IG11 owner records that a drawing package was lawful.

IG11 (Barking) housing stock: Becontree Estate (the world's largest council estate when built, 1920s-30s) dominates; post-war estates around Barking town; new-build riverside. Major regeneration in Barking Riverside; mostly permissive planning outside conservation pockets. Read that before choosing a drawing package route in IG11 (Barking) — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable. Barking and Dagenham Council charges £548 for a householder application and has 8 weeks to determine it.

Who decides a drawing package on the edge of IG11?

• Havering — adjoining IG11 (Barking), with 15 conservation areas centred on RM1. A drawing package on the far side of the IG11 (Barking) line is determined by Havering Council, so the IG11 (Barking) quote for architectural drawings is checked against Havering guidance before it is issued.
• Redbridge — the Redbridge boundary runs against Barking and Dagenham, so a drawing package a street from IG11 (Barking) is decided by Redbridge Council instead. Redbridge runs 14 conservation areas across E11 and its neighbours, which is why architectural drawings priced for IG11 (Barking) are re-checked against Redbridge policy whenever the IG11 (Barking) address sits on that edge.
• Newham — cross the IG11 (Barking) boundary and Newham Council takes the drawing package instead, applying 10 conservation areas of its own around E6. We re-price architectural drawings at the IG11 (Barking) edge because Newham policy and Barking and Dagenham policy rarely align on drawing package depth.
