Does Hillingdon planning policy restrict a drawing package?

Conservation areas covering Hillingdon: Hillingdon Council runs 29, and Harefield, Ickenham, Uxbridge are the ones Hillingdon owners meet most. A drawing package inside a Hillingdon conservation area loses permitted development, so the Hillingdon submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Uxbridge a drawing package is judged on the street elevation first.

No blanket Article 4 over Hillingdon: Hillingdon Council has not withdrawn permitted development across Hillingdon, so a drawing package outside a Hillingdon conservation area usually keeps it. The £274 Lawful Development Certificate is still the document a HA4 owner wants on file.

The building fabric around Hillingdon: 1930s semi-detached dominates; Metropolitan Green Belt covers much of north Hillingdon; Victorian cottages in Uxbridge and Ruislip villages; post-war housing near Heathrow. Largest outer west London borough; significant Green Belt; Heathrow noise contours affect planning decisions in Harmondsworth and Sipson. A drawing package in Hillingdon is scoped against that stock first.
