Planning drawings for West Ealing start by establishing whether your scheme is Permitted Development, needs a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning from Ealing Council. On W13's edwardian and inter-war bay-fronted semis and terraces, the recurring questions are roof additions, rear and side-return extensions, and alterations within Drayton Green, Lammas Park (adjoining). We draw existing and proposed plans, elevations and a site location plan to the council's validation checklist for West Ealing, Drayton Green, Northfields fringe.
Across West Ealing, Drayton Green, Northfields fringe in W13, the dominant property is edwardian and inter-war bay-fronted semis and terraces, with mansion blocks around west ealing and the drayton green streets. 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 Ealing Council judges each on design quality and neighbour impact. We survey the specific West Ealing property, confirm the planning route — Permitted Development, a Lawful Development Certificate, or full planning — and draw a council-ready set tailored to the W13 streetscape.

Yes.

We confirm the route and draw to Ealing's checklist.
West Ealing on the Elizabeth line has cut journey times to central London and Heathrow, lifting demand across W13. For a house project it improves the backdrop; your scheme is still governed by Permitted Development limits and Ealing householder policy, which we apply.
Usually yes — a hip-to-gable plus rear dormer on the semis, within the volume allowance and confirmed by a Lawful Development Certificate, provided you're not in the Drayton Green conservation area. We check the constraints for your road and draw it for Building Control.
Family-house extensions and lofts on the bay-fronted Edwardian and inter-war stock — side-returns, rear additions and hip-to-gable lofts. With houses around £750,000-£1m, the added space justifies a council-ready scheme; we handle planning and Building Regulations drawings together.

We carry the West Ealing application through every officer query to the decision.

Almost always. Any structural work behind planning permission drawings in West Ealing — 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 Ealing Council Building Control or an approved inspector. On W13'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 W13 homes.
Householders often approach us after a neighbour used a different council. Our full range is set out for NW10, W3, W4, W5 and W7.

| W5 | Ealing | Edwardian villas, Victorian terraces | Adjoining district to W13, also inside Ealing for planning drawing set purposes. |
| W7 | Hanwell | Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | Adjoining district to W13, also inside Ealing for planning drawing set purposes. |
