Ealing conservation designations: there are 30 across Ealing Council, Hanwell, Ealing Broadway, Pitshanger among them.

Hanwell is the Ealing designation that most often changes a listed building consent application design.
What Article 4 removes near Ealing: Article 4 for HMOs in specific streets in Acton, Ealing and Southall. Before pricing a listed building consent application we check whether the W3 address is inside the mapped area, because Ealing Council draws the Ealing boundary street by street rather than across the whole of Ealing.

Leafy outer-west London; Bedford Park conservation area has strict heritage controls; rest of borough generally permissive. A listed building consent application in Ealing is scoped against that stock first.
