Both approved at first submission by Hounslow Council in 13 weeks.
A family in Hanworth approached us for planning + building regs full package on a 1930s semi-detached property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Hounslow, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Hounslow Council's design expectations for the conservation context (30 conservation areas borough-wide).
Measured survey week 1. Three design iterations balancing internal layout against external massing visible from neighbours. Two scheme massings tested against Hounslow Council's adopted design guidance. Chosen scheme matched existing roof pitch, used matching brick, set the new opening back from the eaves.
Submitted to Hounslow Council via the Planning Portal. Permitted Development eligibility confirmed via parallel LDC. Officer comments minor, addressed in 5 days. Both approved at first submission.

Hanworth conservation designations: there are 30 across Hounslow Council, Chiswick, Bedford Park, Old Isleworth among them. Designation costs a Hanworth owner the permitted-development route: a planning drawings then needs a £548 householder application over 8 weeks, in place of the £249 prior approval route that takes 6 weeks. Chiswick is the Hanworth designation that most often changes a planning drawings design.
Hanworth permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Hounslow Council, so a planning drawings at a TW13 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £274 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Hanworth sale to argue it later.
What Hanworth is built from: Edwardian villas in Chiswick and Turnham Green; Georgian in Isleworth; 1930s semi-detached in Hounslow and Feltham; riverside new-build in Brentford. Chiswick is one of west London's most conservation-controlled areas; outer Hounslow is permissive suburban. That mix decides the planning drawings route in Hanworth more than the postcode does.
