Garden Room Drawings in Perivale UB6
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered garden room drawings for Perivale (UB6) homeowners — London Borough of Ealing validation and local constraints handled from the start.
Perivale (UB6) is a well-preserved 1930s suburb of matching semis on curving avenues, where the bread-and-butter work is rear kitchen extensions, hip-to-gable loft conversions and rear dormers. The uniformity of the streetscape means Ealing's officers care about how a proposal reads against its neighbours, so faithful detailing matters more here than in a mixed-age street.
Perivale also sits in the orbit of the Art Deco Hoover Building on Western Avenue and the green ridge of Horsenden Hill, and the Canalside conservation area clips its north-west edge. We design extensions that echo the original bay, render and roof pitch, and we check tree cover and the canal-side boundary so schemes reach Ealing's approval standard first time.
Planning in Perivale (UB6): what to know before you apply
No published householder Article 4 direction in Perivale, so most householder work proceeds under permitted development or a standard Ealing application. Homes near the Canalside conservation area or backing onto Horsenden Hill's open space face tighter scrutiny on materials, roof form and tree protection.
Typical Perivale housing stock
Perivale is a planned interwar suburb of consistent 1930s semis and short terraces, many with curved bays, rendered gables and hipped tiled roofs, arranged on gently curving crescents. Streets rising towards Horsenden Hill keep deep rear gardens well suited to single-storey extensions and loft dormers.

Garden Room Drawings for Perivale (UB6) homes: the package and the process
Every garden room drawings we prepare for an Perivale property is drawn to London Borough of Ealing’s validation standards and tuned to the UB6 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.
A garden room, garden office or outbuilding is one of the simplest ways to add usable space in London without extending the main house — a home office at the end of the garden, a gym, a studio, or additional storage. Most of these structures fall within permitted development rights, meaning they can be built without a full planning application, but the rules that govern what qualifies are specific: single-storey construction, height limits that tighten close to a boundary, incidental rather than independent use, and a limit on how much of the garden can be covered by outbuildings in total. DrawingsDirect checks your garden room against these rules before drawing anything, and produces the drawings needed either for a Lawful Development Certificate or, where the project falls outside permitted development, for a full planning application.
Garden rooms are also one of the areas most commonly built incorrectly, because homeowners assume a small structure is automatically exempt from any process. In reality, a garden room used as extra sleeping accommodation, positioned in a front garden, exceeding the eaves height allowed near a boundary, or built on a property that sits in a conservation area or under an Article 4 direction can all fall outside permitted development and need planning permission. Establishing which category your project falls into at the outset avoids building something that later has to be altered or removed.
Is a garden room permitted development in London?
A garden room is generally permitted development if it is single storey, has a maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres where it sits within 2 metres of a boundary, does not exceed the wider height limits that apply further from the boundary, is used for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the main house — such as a home office, gym, studio or storage — rather than as independent living accommodation, and, combined with any other outbuildings, extensions and existing additions, does not cover more than 50% of the garden. Meeting all of these conditions at once is what qualifies a garden room as permitted development rather than requiring a planning application.
Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
Planning permission is needed instead of relying on permitted development where the garden room includes sleeping accommodation or is intended as a separate annexe for independent living, where it is positioned in a front garden rather than to the rear or side, where its height or position relative to boundaries exceeds the permitted development limits, or where the property sits within a conservation area, is a listed building, or is subject to an Article 4 direction removing some or all permitted development rights for outbuildings.
If any of these apply, we design the garden room and prepare a full planning application drawing set for submission to your borough via the Planning Portal, in the same way as any other planning application.
