Planning Permission in Feltham TW13
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered planning permission for Feltham (TW13) homeowners — London Borough of Hounslow validation and local constraints handled from the start.
Feltham is an outer-west Hounslow suburb built largely between the wars and in the post-war decades, so the bulk of our work here is family-driven: single-storey rear extensions, side-return infills and loft conversions on 1930s semis and estate housing. Wide plots on roads such as Southern Avenue and Ashmead Road usually leave comfortable room to extend under permitted development while keeping the front elevation intact.
Where a plot sits near the St Dunstan's or Hanworth Park conservation areas, or on the lower ground close to the River Crane, we design to Hounslow Council's expectations from the outset — matching brick and roof lines, respecting the depth and height limits, and building in flood-resilient drainage detail so the application clears validation without an avoidable refusal.
Planning in Feltham (TW13): what to know before you apply
There is no published householder Article 4 direction in Feltham, so most rear and loft projects proceed under permitted development. Watch the St Dunstan's, Hanworth Park and Feltham Town Centre conservation areas, and the flood constraint on plots near the River Crane, where PD rights and extension depths are more tightly read.
Typical Feltham housing stock
Feltham is dominated by 1930s bay-fronted semis and post-war council-built estates, with generous rear gardens on roads like Southern Avenue and Glebelands Road. Plots are wide enough for single-storey rear extensions, side infills and hip-to-gable loft conversions without needing to touch the front elevation.

Planning Permission for Feltham (TW13) homes: the package and the process
Every planning permission we prepare for an Feltham property is drawn to London Borough of Hounslow’s validation standards and tuned to the TW13 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.
Securing planning permission in London means navigating borough-specific design guidance, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and a validation checklist that differs from one council to the next. DrawingsDirect prepares the existing and proposed drawings your local planning authority needs, submits them through the Planning Portal, and manages the application to a decision — for a fixed fee agreed before we start.
Because we are MCIAT-chartered architectural technologists rather than a general architecture practice, you get the same council-accepted drawings and professional accountability at a typically lower fee, with structural coordination handled in-house.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in London?
Many single-storey rear extensions, loft conversions and outbuildings fall under permitted development rights and do not need a full planning application — but London's dense housing stock, conservation areas and Article 4 directions frequently withdraw those rights. Before you pay for a full application, we check your property against the current permitted development thresholds and your borough's local constraints.
Where permitted development applies, we recommend a Lawful Development Certificate instead of full planning — it is faster, cheaper and gives you a legal document confirming the work was lawful. Where a full application is genuinely required, we prepare it properly the first time.
Permitted development vs a full planning application
Permitted development lets you build within defined volumetric limits without committee review. A full householder application is assessed against the borough's local plan for scale, daylight, neighbour impact and design. We advise which route your project qualifies for and why.
Article 4 directions and conservation areas
If your home sits in a conservation area or under an Article 4 direction, permitted development rights are often removed — meaning even modest changes need consent. Each borough page lists the local directions and conservation areas we routinely design around.
How do you apply for planning permission through the London Planning Portal?
We manage the full lifecycle of your submission — survey, drawings, supporting documents and officer liaison — so you never have to decode a validation checklist yourself.
Phase 1 — existing and proposed site surveys
A laser-measured survey captures your property exactly, so existing and proposed drawings match reality millimetre for millimetre.
Phase 2 — technical drawing package
Site location plan, block plan, floor plans, elevations and sections drawn to your borough's scale and formatting requirements, with a design and access statement where needed.
Phase 3 — liaison with the planning officer
We answer the council's queries, negotiate amendments, and redraw free until the decision lands.
