Building Regulations Drawings in Ickenham |

No Article 4 Direction covers Hillingdon, which keeps the Ickenham permitted-development route open on unlisted houses. Ickenham reads as 1930s semi-detached, village conservation, and that is the context a UB10 scheme is judged in. Ruislip Village is the designation that most often reshapes a Ickenham proposal; Hillingdon carries 29 of them. Whether a Ickenham plot sits inside the boundary changes the whole route.

That check — Article 4 directions against the Ickenham property — happens on day one. What can be built on a Ickenham plot is decided by the 1930s semi-detached — the original rear wall position first, the Ickenham Village roofline second. The borough policy layer over every UB10 address is set out on Hillingdon planning. The Ickenham survey then carries into loft conversion drawings in Ickenham if the project runs on to construction.

One to two weeks at London Borough of Hillingdon before a Ickenham case reaches an officer. Survey first: we measure the Ickenham property in person, then draw the existing plans, sections and elevations from that data.

Statutory periods: 8 weeks from validation for a householder application, 13 weeks for a major scheme, 6 weeks for prior approval with a 21 days neighbour consultation, and 5 weeks for a full plans building control submission. A party structure notice requires one month notice and two months where excavation is involved.

A Ickenham case only reaches committee if it draws significant objection. Drawings for Ickenham are supplied print-ready and in the format London Borough of Hillingdon accepts.

A Ickenham scheme that respects the 45-degree line rarely draws a sustained objection. We photograph the Ickenham property alongside the measurements for the record.

Because Ickenham houses generally share walls, budget time for party wall notices alongside the UB10 application. Once consent is granted, house extension drawings follows for the UB10 property.

Ickenham is characterised by 1930s semi-detached, tudor fragments, concentrated across UB10 in the Hillingdon / Ickenham area. A Ickenham scheme is designed around what the 1930s semi-detached can actually carry. Where Ickenham is concerned, 1930s cavity walls here take standard full-fill or partial-fill detailing, which keeps the Part L calculation straightforward. In UB10 that determines the depth we can draw. Because Ickenham rows are consistent, the proposed elevation is drawn with neighbours on it.

Going down in Ickenham is assessed on ordinary grounds — UB10 ground conditions and drainage do more to shape the scheme than policy does. The same Ickenham drawings carry through to architectural drawings for UB10 properties and planning permission.

Getting to a Ickenham survey

Surveyors travel to UB10 addresses from the studio; the nearest stations are polling station, Ickenham, West Ruislip station. Appointments are booked in Ickenham on weekdays and Saturdays, and the measured survey of a standard 1930s semi-detached takes two to three hours.

Where Ickenham sits

on Ordnance Survey grid reference TQ075855. We draw the Ickenham location and block plans from that reference, which is what Hillingdon Council validates against. Source.

Practical detail for a Ickenham submission: polling station and Ickenham and West Ruislip station cover the UB10 area; addresses are written to UXBRIDGE; dialling code 01895. Site plans are drawn to the address as Hillingdon Council holds it.

Ickenham postcode coverage

Coverage runs across UB10 (Hillingdon / Ickenham), shared with Hillingdon — and Hillingdon Council validates against the address, so the district line matters more than the street name.
