Every Bexley postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a drawing package there. Bexley fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not drawing package estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a drawing package |
|---|---|---|---|
| DA5 | Old Bexley | Georgian villas, Victorian cottages | Old Bexley sits wholly inside DA5, so Bexley Council validates every drawing package submitted from an DA5 address. |
| DA6 | Bexleyheath | 1930s semi-detached | A drawing package at an DA6 address in Bexleyheath is determined by Bexley Council under its own Local Plan policies for Bexleyheath. |
| DA7 | Bexleyheath / Barnehurst | 1930s semi-detached | DA7 covers Bexleyheath / Barnehurst only; Bexley Council handles the drawing package. |
| DA8 | Erith | Victorian terraces, post-war estates | A drawing package at an DA8 address in Erith is determined by Bexley Council under its own Local Plan policies for Erith. |
| DA14 | Sidcup | 1930s semi-detached, Edwardian villas | A drawing package at an DA14 address in Sidcup is determined by Bexley Council under its own Local Plan policies for Sidcup. |
| DA16 | Welling | 1930s semi-detached | Welling sits wholly inside DA16, so Bexley Council validates every drawing package submitted from an DA16 address. |
| DA17 | Belvedere | 1930s semi-detached, post-war flats | A drawing package at an DA17 address in Belvedere is determined by Bexley Council under its own Local Plan policies for Belvedere. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Bexley streets, and each one changes what a drawing package can achieve at that address.
Conservation areas covering Bexley: Bexley Council runs 16, and Welling, Bexley Village, Old Bexley are the ones Bexley owners meet most. A drawing package inside a Bexley conservation area loses permitted development, so the Bexley submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Welling a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.
Bexley permitted development status: there is no borough-wide direction from Bexley Council, so a drawing package at a DA1 address is normally still permitted development. We certify that with a £274 Lawful Development Certificate rather than leaving a Bexley sale to argue it later.
Bexley housing stock: 1930s semi-detached dominates; Victorian cottages in Bexley Village and Crayford; post-war estates in Thamesmead and Erith. Outer south-east London suburban; very permissive planning environment; strong PD uptake for extensions and loft conversions. Read that before choosing a drawing package route in Bexley — construction, not postcode, sets what is achievable.
