Brook Green in W6 is a sought-after enclave of large Victorian terraces and Edwardian mansion blocks in the green space between Hammersmith and Kensington. Families here typically extend at the rear or into the side return, convert generous lofts, or reconfigure mansion flats, so most of our drawings support space-making projects on characterful period homes.

The Brook Green conservation area and neighbouring designations mean roof alterations, front elevations and materials are all assessed against a strikingly consistent streetscape. We detail schemes to sit comfortably within that grain and present them the way Hammersmith and Fulham's officers expect, which keeps sensitive extensions and loft conversions moving smoothly towards approval.

Planning in Brook Green (W6): what to know before you apply

There is no published householder Article 4 direction we depend on for Brook Green, but the Brook Green conservation area constrains permitted development on roofs and principal elevations. Matching red-brick detail, respecting the scale of the terraces, and checking for protected street trees are the usual design limits on rear and roof works.

Typical Brook Green housing stock

Brook Green is a leafy pocket of large Victorian terraces and red-brick Edwardian mansion blocks set between Hammersmith and Kensington. The generous houses lend themselves to full-width rear extensions, side returns and loft conversions, while the mansion blocks generate careful internal reconfigurations and flat conversions that suit family life in W6.

Floor Plans for Brook Green (W6) homes: the package and the process

Every floor plans we prepare for an Brook Green property is drawn to London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham’s validation standards and tuned to the W6 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.

Not every project needs a full planning drawing set. If you are selling or letting a property, drawing up a lease, recording a layout before a refurbishment, or simply want an accurate plan of your home, what you need is a floor plan — a scaled, dimensioned drawing of each level, measured directly from the property rather than estimated from an old plan or an estate agent's rough sketch. DrawingsDirect produces floor plans from a laser-measured site visit, so room sizes, wall thicknesses and door and window positions are accurate, not approximate.

Floor plans are commonly used for estate agency marketing and Rightmove or Zoopla listings, for lease plans required by a mortgage lender or solicitor, for landlords documenting a rental property's layout, or as a straightforward existing-layout record before any building work is decided. They are lighter than a full architectural or planning drawing set — there is no design work, no application, and no borough-specific requirements to satisfy — so turnaround is fast and the fee is correspondingly lower. If you later decide to extend, convert a loft or apply for planning permission, the same laser survey can usually be reused as the base for those drawings rather than re-measuring the property from scratch.

What are floor plans used for?

Floor plans serve several distinct purposes in London property: estate agents use them to market a sale or letting alongside photographs, giving buyers and tenants an accurate sense of layout and scale that a floor plan on its own can convey better than photos; solicitors and lenders often require a lease plan showing the demise of a flat within a building, particularly for leasehold sales or re-mortgages; landlords use them to document a property's layout for reference, insurance or portfolio management; and homeowners use them simply to have an accurate record of their existing layout, whether for their own reference or as the first step before considering any building work.

How accurate are laser-measured floor plans?

We measure every floor plan on site using a laser distance meter rather than a tape measure or estimation from photographs, which keeps room dimensions, wall thicknesses and door and window positions accurate to within a few millimetres. This matters more than it might seem: an estate agent's marketing plan that overstates a room's size can mislead a buyer and cause problems at survey stage, while a lease plan used for legal purposes needs to accurately reflect what a leaseholder actually owns. A laser-measured plan also means that if you later want to use it as the existing-layout drawing for a planning application, it is already accurate enough to build proposed drawings on top of, rather than needing to be re-measured.

FAQ

Floor Plans in Brook Green W6 — FAQs

How much do floor plans cost in London?+
Floor plans start from £450 for a laser-measured, scaled drawing of each floor, with the exact fee depending on the size of the property and the number of floors involved.
How long does it take to get floor plans?+
Most floor plans are ready within a few days of the site survey, considerably faster than a full planning drawing set, since there is no design or application work involved.
Can floor plans be used for a lease or mortgage application?+
Yes — laser-measured floor plans are commonly used as lease plans and for mortgage or re-mortgage purposes; let us know at the outset if you need a specific format or additional detail such as room areas.
Can I reuse my floor plans if I later want to extend or convert my loft?+
Yes — the laser survey behind your floor plans can usually be reused as the existing-layout base drawing for a future planning or building regulations application, saving you from a second site visit.
Do you provide floor plans for estate agents?+
Yes, floor plans are commonly instructed directly by homeowners or via their estate agent ahead of a sale or letting, drawn to scale and ready to use alongside marketing photography.
Do I need planning permission for a side-return extension in Hammersmith & Fulham?+
On the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Fulham and Shepherd's Bush a single-storey side-return or rear extension can fall within permitted development, so a full application isn't always required. Conservation areas across Fulham, Brackenbury and Ravenscourt Park, and the Peterborough Estate, restrict this. We check your street's designation first and can confirm permitted development with a Lawful Development Certificate.
Will I need a Basement Impact Assessment for a basement in Hammersmith & Fulham?+
Likely, yes. The council applies a basement policy requiring a basement impact assessment for below-ground works, covering structural stability, drainage and groundwater. Basement extensions are common on these terraces, so if you are considering one we flag the requirement early and coordinate the structural input so the application is complete when submitted.
What is special about the Peterborough Estate 'Lion houses'?+
The Peterborough Estate's distinctive red-brick 'Lion houses' carry strong conservation control over their external character, so alterations are expected to respect the estate's materials and detailing. We design to that character and prepare a full householder application where permitted development doesn't apply, which is the reliable route to approval there.
How long does Hammersmith & Fulham take to decide?+
The council determines most householder applications within the statutory eight-week period once validated; basement and conservation cases can involve additional consultation. Because the terraces are party-wall-sensitive, we prepare submissions to the borough's residential extension and basement guidance to avoid the drawing queries that cause most delays.
How much do planning drawings cost in Hammersmith & Fulham?+
We agree a fixed fee before we start, typically around 30% below an architect's fee for the same council-accepted drawings, with free redraws until the council approves. A side-return, a loft and a basement differ in complexity, so we quote once we have seen your address and project rather than by the hour.
