Do I need planning permission in Feltham?

No Article 4 Direction covers Hounslow, which keeps the Feltham permitted-development route open on unlisted houses. Feltham reads as 1930s semi-detached, post-war estates, and that is the context a TW13 scheme is judged in. If your Feltham address is inside Old Isleworth, treat permitted development as reduced and plan for a full Hounslow Council application. That boundary is verified for the TW13 property at the outset.

How Article 4 directions apply to your Feltham street is settled at survey stage, not after submission. On Feltham stock the constraint is physical before it is planning: the 1930s semi-detached fixes the rear wall line and the Feltham station roofline caps the ridge. The borough policy layer over every TW13 address is set out on Hounslow planning. The Feltham survey then carries into building regulations drawings in Feltham if the project runs on to construction.

Statutory periods

How long does Hounslow Council take to decide?

Validation at London Borough of Hounslow is the first delay a Feltham applicant meets. The Feltham survey comes first, because a proposal drawn on wrong existing plans fails validation later.

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.

Officer queries on a Feltham application come to us, not to you. Feltham clients receive existing and proposed sheets in one indexed set.

We design Feltham schemes to answer the amenity objection before it is written. The Feltham existing set is accurate to the millimetre where it matters.

Party wall procedure catches most TW13 owners late; on Feltham stock assume it applies and serve in good time. Once consent is granted, loft conversion drawings follows for the TW13 property.

What Feltham's housing stock means for your plans

Feltham is characterised by 1930s semi-detached, post-war estates, concentrated across TW13 in the Feltham area. Feltham is not uniform, but the 1930s semi-detached recurs often enough across TW13 that the structural pattern is predictable once measured. Locally that resolves to this: on these 1930s semis the prior approval route often replaces a full application, and the drawing set is smaller as a result. On Hounslow stock it changes the party wall position. A Feltham proposal that breaks the prevailing eaves line invites a refusal.

Hounslow sets no special basement rule, so a Feltham lower-ground scheme stands or falls on the engineering and the neighbours. house extension drawings for TW13 properties and architectural drawings build on the existing Feltham survey data.

Local landmarks that shape a Feltham application

  • London Air Park — terraced rear elevations — the London Air Park party wall position is drawn first.
  • Hanworth Park — frontages visible from the highway, so Old Isleworth materials detail governs the Hanworth Park elevation.
  • High Street — frontages visible from the highway, so Old Isleworth materials detail governs the High Street elevation.
  • Feltham station — massing on adjoining TW13 plots is tested against it.
  • Hounslow Heath — the surrounding 1930s semi-detached takes its scale from it.
  • Springwest Academy — the surrounding 1930s semi-detached takes its scale from it.

Chartered accountability

MCIAT chartered technologists working across Hounslow

First-time approval across our London caseload is 98%. Statutory fees shown are those in force in England in 2026 under the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications) Regulations.

Feltham questions

Planning Permission in Feltham — common questions

Do Feltham homeowners always need planning permission?

A Feltham house outside Old Isleworth usually keeps its rights; a flat never does. No Article 4 Direction covers Hounslow, which keeps the Feltham permitted-development route open on unlisted houses. We confirm before quoting on any TW13 address.

Is Feltham in a conservation area?

Hounslow designates 30 conservation areas; Old Isleworth is the one that most often catches a Feltham project. Inside it permitted development is trimmed and the scheme must answer the character appraisal, so Feltham streets near Feltham station are drawn to a different brief from the outer TW13 roads.

Which properties in TW13 do you survey?

1930s semi-detached, post-war estates makes up the bulk of our TW13 caseload.

Can you draw a property outside Feltham?

Yes. Hounslow in full, Ruislip included, and the Richmond upon Thames side of the boundary — though the 1930s semi-detached and designations change as you move.
