House Extension Drawings in Hackney Wick |

An Article 4 Direction applies across Hackney, so check it before assuming Hackney Wick permitted development survives. Because Hackney Wick is industrial conversions, Olympic fringe, the officer's assessment leans on streetscape impact around Hackney Wick Overground as much as on the numbers. Hackney carries 29 conservation areas; if the E9 address falls in Stoke Newington or Dalston Lane, expect the permitted-development route to close and a full Hackney Council application to be the faster answer. Every Hackney Wick enquiry starts with that check.

Every E9 job starts with checking Article 4 directions street by street. Measure a E9 property and the warehouse conversions answers most of it — where the original rear wall sat, and what height the Hackney Wick street will carry. The borough policy layer over every E9 address is set out on Hackney planning. The Hackney Wick survey then carries into building regulations drawings in Hackney Wick if the project runs on to construction.

Expect one to two weeks of London Borough of Hackney validation on a Hackney Wick submission before the statutory period even begins. We measure the E9 property on site with a laser, then draw the existing set from that data alone.

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.

Expect a site visit to the Hackney Wick property during the consultation period. Every Hackney Wick submission leaves here as a PDF set at the scales Hackney Council requires.

Neighbour comment is what shapes most Hackney Wick decisions; policy rarely decides alone. We photograph the Hackney Wick property alongside the measurements for the record.

Because Hackney Wick houses generally share walls, budget time for party wall notices alongside the E9 application. Once consent is granted, loft conversion drawings follows for the E9 property.

Hackney Wick is characterised by warehouse conversions, new-build, concentrated across E9 in the Homerton / Hackney Wick area. A Hackney Wick scheme is designed around what the warehouse conversions can actually carry. On the ground in Hackney Wick, modern housing here is frequently covered by a planning condition removing permitted development rights, so check the original consent before assuming a 3 m addition is free. That detail drives the E9 construction sequence. Height on a Hackney Wick proposal is measured against its neighbours, not against a policy number; the Hackney Wick Overground terraces set that datum.

Hackney Council assesses Hackney Wick basements on standard grounds. If the E9 job later needs architectural drawings for E9 properties or planning permission, the existing drawings already carry the measurements.

What the Hackney Wick drawing pack contains

For a E9 address the deliverables are fixed, not open-ended.

• existing and proposed ground-floor plans for the Hackney Wick property
• proposed rear elevation
• long section through the extension
• site and block plans
• party wall position drawing

Streets and landmarks we survey around Hackney Wick

• Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park — gardens deep enough for the 8 weeks householder route on a Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park plot.
• Arthur George Green — closet wings that change how a rear extension meets the Arthur George Green back addition.
• Olympic Park — terraced rear elevations — the Olympic Park party wall position is drawn first.
• Clapton Square — shared flank walls, so Clapton Square party structure notices go out before work starts.
• Lea Valley Walk — closet wings that change how a rear extension meets the Lea Valley Walk back addition.
• Hackney Wick Overground — sightlines from here are part of the Hackney Council character assessment.
• Eton College — a Hackney Wick roof extension is judged against the datum it sets.
