What local planning policy applies to a rear dormer in W13?

Conservation areas covering W13 (West Ealing): Ealing Council runs 30, and Bedford Park, Acton Green, Hanwell are the ones W13 (West Ealing) owners meet most. A rear dormer inside a W13 (West Ealing) conservation area loses permitted development, so the W13 (West Ealing) submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Acton Green a rear dormer is judged on the street elevation first.

What Article 4 removes near W13 (West Ealing): Article 4 for HMOs in specific streets in Acton, Ealing and Southall. Before pricing a rear dormer we check whether the W13 address is inside the mapped area, because Ealing Council draws the W13 (West Ealing) boundary street by street rather than across the whole of W13 (West Ealing).

The building fabric around W13 (West Ealing): Victorian and Edwardian villas in Ealing central; 1930s semi-detached in Northolt and Hanwell; mansion blocks along main roads; Bedford Park is a listed Arts & Crafts garden suburb. Leafy outer-west London; Bedford Park conservation area has strict heritage controls; rest of borough generally permissive. A rear dormer in W13 (West Ealing) is scoped against that stock first, because it decides whether the scheme runs as permitted development, a £274 Lawful Development Certificate, or a full £548 application to Ealing Council.
