Decision times

How long does Hammersmith & Fulham Council take to decide?

An incomplete Parsons Green pack sits in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham validation queue. Survey first: we measure the Parsons Green 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.

Consultation responses on a Parsons Green scheme are public and readable before the decision. Drawings for Parsons Green are supplied print-ready and in the format London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham accepts.

The Parsons Green consultation period is where a weak scheme is exposed. Roof pitch and eaves height on a Parsons Green house are measured, not scaled off.

Party wall procedure runs alongside the Parsons Green application, not after it. Once consent is granted, building regulations drawings follows for the SW6 property.
