Planning Drawings in Southgate Green N14
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered planning drawings for Southgate Green (N14) homeowners — London Borough of Enfield validation and local constraints handled from the start.
Southgate (N14) is anchored by Southgate Green, a historic green ringed by Georgian and Victorian houses and more than thirty listed structures, with Edwardian and interwar semis on the surrounding streets where most of our extension and loft work sits.
Because the Article 4(2) directions made in 2009 remove permitted-development rights on frontages inside the conservation area, we check the mapped boundary and listing status before advising whether a scheme is genuinely PD or needs a full application with heritage justification.
Planning in Southgate Green (N14): what to know before you apply
Most Southgate extensions run as householder applications to Enfield, with a heritage statement where the property is inside the Southgate Green Conservation Area. The 2009 Article 4(2) directions remove PD rights on street-facing elevations, and listed-building consent can be required near the green, so we confirm boundary and listing status first.

How are planning drawings different from building regulations drawings?
Planning drawings show what the building will look like and how it sits in its context. Building regulations drawings show how it will be built safely — structure, insulation, fire escape and drainage. Most projects need both; our Complete package covers the two together with structural calculations coordinated in-house.
| Drawing | Typical scale | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Site location plan | 1:1250 | The property in its street context, site edged red |
| Block plan | 1:500 | The building's footprint and position in the plot |
| Floor plans (existing & proposed) | 1:100 / 1:50 | Room layout, walls, openings and the proposed changes |
| Elevations (existing & proposed) | 1:100 / 1:50 | Each face of the building and how it changes |
| Sections | 1:100 / 1:50 | A cut through showing heights, levels and roof form |
