House Extension Drawings in Harefield UB9
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered house extension drawings for Harefield (UB9) homeowners — London Borough of Hillingdon validation and local constraints handled from the start.
Harefield (UB9) is one of Hillingdon's most rural neighbourhoods — a historic village core wrapped in Green Belt on the northern edge of the borough — and that setting, rather than a standard suburban street pattern, drives how extensions are assessed here. Schemes that keep additions subordinate and in-keeping with the village grain are the ones that move smoothly through the council.
The Harefield Village conservation area protects the scattered building layout, the green and the countryside views, so rooflines, materials and the openness between buildings are treated as part of the heritage. We check both the conservation-area boundary and the surrounding Green Belt designation before advising on what a UB9 plot can realistically support.
Planning in Harefield (UB9): what to know before you apply
UB9 combines two of the strongest planning controls in the borough — a rural conservation area and widespread Green Belt — so extension scale and siting matter more here than almost anywhere else in Hillingdon. We design Harefield schemes to read as modest, subordinate additions that respect the village setting, which is what the council looks for.
Typical Harefield housing stock
A dispersed village centre of cottages and period houses around the green and St Mary's Church, mixing medieval and post-medieval buildings with Victorian and 20th-century infill, set against open countryside on the borough's northern edge.

House Extension Drawings for Harefield (UB9) homes: the package and the process
Every house extension drawings we prepare for an Harefield property is drawn to London Borough of Hillingdon’s validation standards and tuned to the UB9 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.
A well-drawn extension adds space and value while sailing through the council; a poorly-drawn one triggers objections and refusals. DrawingsDirect draws rear, side-return, wraparound, double-storey and basement extensions for London homes — sized to your borough's tolerances, with daylight and neighbour impact considered before the planners raise them.
Which extension types do you draw?
Every London extension is shaped by the plot, the neighbours and the borough's design guidance. We draw them all.
Rear extension
A single-storey rear extension is often permitted development within depth limits — ideal for an open-plan kitchen-diner.
Side-return
Fills the alley beside a Victorian terrace, widening the ground floor without losing garden.
Wraparound
Combines a rear and side-return extension for a transformative ground floor, usually needing planning permission.
Double-storey
Adds space above and below, subject to tighter scale and neighbour-impact scrutiny.
Basement
Creates space downward where footprint is limited, with structural and party-wall care.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in London?
Single-storey rear extensions within permitted development limits (up to 6m for terraced/semi-detached homes under the larger-home scheme, subject to neighbour consultation) may not need a full application. Wraparounds, double-storeys and anything in a conservation area usually do. We assess your plot and recommend the right route before drawing.
