Planning Drawings in Winchmore Hill N21
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered planning drawings for Winchmore Hill (N21) homeowners — London Borough of Enfield validation and local constraints handled from the start.
Winchmore Hill (N21) is built around a historic village green ringed by Georgian and Victorian cottages, with bay-fronted Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the surrounding streets where most of our rear and loft extension work sits.
Because the 2006 Article 4 directions remove permitted-development rights on frontages inside the Winchmore Hill and Vicars Moor Lane Conservation Area, we check the mapped boundary before deciding whether a scheme is genuinely PD or needs full planning with a heritage statement.
Planning in Winchmore Hill (N21): what to know before you apply
Most Winchmore Hill extensions run as householder applications to Enfield, with a heritage statement inside the conservation area. The 2006 Article 4 directions remove PD rights on street-facing elevations, so we confirm the boundary and prepare a heritage-aware set where the property falls inside it.

DrawingsDirect produces complete, validation-ready planning drawing sets for extensions, lofts and conversions across London.
What is included in a planning drawing set?

- Site location plan (1:1250) and block plan (1:500)
- Existing floor plans, elevations and sections
- Proposed floor plans, elevations and sections
- Roof plans where relevant, with heights and materials annotated

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 |
