Planning Drawings · N13 Palmers Green
Enfield controls the Fox Lane (Lakes Estate) conservation area; N13 is a settled Edwardian family market.
The borough-level guide to planning drawings in Enfield sets out how the same work is handled across the rest of the authority.
Planning drawings for Palmers Green start by establishing whether your scheme is Permitted Development, needs a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning from Enfield Council. On N13's edwardian and inter-war bay-fronted semis and terraces, the recurring questions are roof additions, rear and side-return extensions, and alterations within Fox Lane (the Lakes Estate), Broomfield. We draw existing and proposed plans, elevations and a site location plan to the council's validation checklist for Palmers Green, Broomfield Park, Bowes Park fringe.
Across Palmers Green, Broomfield Park, Bowes Park fringe in N13, the dominant property is edwardian and inter-war bay-fronted semis and terraces around palmers green, with larger houses toward broomfield park. That stock shapes what planning permission drawings looks like here: the right approach for a period terrace differs from a mansion-block flat or a new-build, and Enfield Council judges each on design quality and neighbour impact. We survey the specific Palmers Green property, confirm the planning route — Permitted Development, a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning — and draw a council-ready set tailored to the N13 streetscape.

Listed, conservation or complex sites.
Yes. The Edwardian and inter-war bay-fronted semis around Fox Lane and Old Park Road suit rear and side extensions plus loft conversions, much of it within Permitted Development outside the conservation area, confirmed with a Lawful Development Certificate. We confirm the route and draw to Enfield's checklist.
The Fox Lane (Lakes Estate) conservation area protects the Edwardian planned streets with controls over bays, materials and front gardens, so extensions there need full planning with a Heritage Statement. We design sympathetically to the estate's character and submit to Enfield.
Usually yes on the semis — a hip-to-gable plus rear dormer within the volume allowance, confirmed by a Lawful Development Certificate, provided you're not in the Fox Lane conservation area. We check the constraints for your road and draw it for Building Control.
With N13 houses around £650,000-£950,000 and a direct rail link to Moorgate, a rear extension or loft adds family space worth comfortably above the build and drawing cost. N13 offers strong north-London value.
Enfield Council charges its own statutory application fee (currently £548 for a householder planning application, £610 for a full application). We quote the drawings as one fixed price and the free site survey covers every N13 address.
For a N13 project across Palmers Green, Broomfield Park, Bowes Park fringe, expect roughly 3–4 weeks from instruction to submission: week 1 the measured survey, weeks 2–3 the drawings and your revisions, then validation and the statutory determination by Enfield Council (8 weeks for a householder application). We carry the Palmers Green application through every officer query to the decision.
Palmers Green (N13) sits primarily in Enfield, so applications are decided by Enfield Council. Conservation areas within N13 include Fox Lane (the Lakes Estate), Broomfield, where full planning and a Heritage Statement are required. We confirm the planning route for your exact address before quoting.
Almost always. Any structural work behind planning permission drawings in Palmers Green — new openings, steel beams, loft floors, foundations — needs Building Regulations approval covering structure (Part A), fire escape (Part B) and insulation (Part L), submitted to Enfield Council Building Control or an approved inspector. On N13's typically terraced and semi-detached stock, a Party Wall notice to adjoining neighbours is normally required before the steelwork. We coordinate both as part of the Complete package.
In value terms, yes. The bigger risk is an unapproved or non-compliant scheme — which is why council-ready drawings and a clean Building Control sign-off matter on N13 homes.

Every N13 postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a planning drawing set there. N13 fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not planning drawing set estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a planning drawing set |
|---|---|---|---|
| N13 | Palmers Green | Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | Palmers Green sits wholly inside N13, so Enfield Council validates every planning drawing set submitted from an N13 address. |
| N9 | Lower Edmonton | Victorian terraces, post-war estates | Adjoining district to N13, also inside Enfield for planning drawing set purposes. |
| N14 | Southgate | 1930s semi-detached, Edwardian villas | Adjoining district to N13, also inside Enfield for planning drawing set purposes. |
| N18 | Upper Edmonton | Victorian terraces, post-war estates | Adjoining district to N13, also inside Enfield for planning drawing set purposes. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few N13 streets, and each one changes what a planning drawing set can achieve at that address.
Conservation areas covering N13 (Palmers Green): Enfield Council runs 22, and Forty Hill, Enfield Town, Gentleman's Row are the ones N13 (Palmers Green) owners meet most. A planning drawing set inside a N13 (Palmers Green) conservation area loses permitted development, so the N13 (Palmers Green) submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Gentleman's Row a planning drawing set is judged on the street elevation first.
No blanket Article 4 over N13 (Palmers Green): Enfield Council has not withdrawn permitted development across N13 (Palmers Green), so a planning drawing set outside a N13 (Palmers Green) conservation area usually keeps it. The £274 Lawful Development Certificate is still the document a N13 owner wants on file.
