House Up is a Construction company.
Do I need planning permission in the Bedford Park Conservation Area?
“Almost always for external changes. Article 4 directions remove many permitted development rights, so dormers, extensions and even some window replacements need a full application (£548 for householders). Heritage-led design is decisive: our Bedford Park penthouse won consent on the strength of detailed heritage reports.”

“Most of Chiswick W4 falls under Hounslow, but the northern streets around Acton Green and Southfield are Ealing, and Bedford Park straddles the boundary. Check your address on either council's site, or ask us; we work with both planning departments regularly.”

“Many rear and side-return extensions on Chiswick houses fall within permitted development, subject to depth and height limits. Conservation areas and Article 4 directions remove some rights, and flats have none. A lawful development certificate (£274) confirms your position in writing before you build.”

“A rear dormer on a Chiswick terrace typically costs £50,000-£90,000. High-specification conversions with en-suites and bespoke joinery typically run £90,000-£160,000, and full mansards £130,000-£210,000. Conservation-area constraints in Bedford Park or Grove Park add heritage and design costs.”
