Planning drawings & applications in North & East London.

Historic features can affect even small alterations. We check whether the property falls within an Article 4 direction and review the relevant conservation guidance before developing the proposal.

Conservation-area controls can affect doors, windows and external finishes. A property-specific check helps establish whether the proposed work can rely on permitted development.

Article 4 directions cover locations including Brownswood, Beck Road and Well Street. We check the actual direction and boundary against the address and proposed works.

Conservation guidance matters in areas such as Noel Park. We check the relevant appraisal, planning history and any Article 4 direction for the property.

The council publishes separate Article 4 controls for small HMOs and some commercial-to-residential changes. These should not be confused with the assessment of a home extension.

Article 4 controls apply in areas including Durham Road, Romford Road and Woodgrange. We review the relevant area documents and the effect on the proposed alterations.

Article 4 controls operate across several conservation areas, including Walthamstow Village and Leytonstone. We check the specific restrictions before recommending an application route.
