What local planning policy applies to a drawing package in W12?

W12 (Shepherd's Bush / White City) conservation designations: there are 45 across Hammersmith & Fulham Council, Brackenbury Village, Fulham Palace Road, Parsons Green among them. Designation costs a W12 (Shepherd's Bush / White City) 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. Fulham Palace Road is the W12 (Shepherd's Bush / White City) designation that most often changes a drawing package design.

W12 (Shepherd's Bush / White City) and Article 4: Article 4 removes PD for HMO conversions; restrictions on ground-floor shop-to-residential in certain streets.
