Planning World

Specialist Planning Support for London’s Most Sensitive Conservation Areas

If your property sits within a Conservation Area, planning rules are stricter, decisions are tougher, and applications require far more detail. At Planning World, we specialise in helping homeowners, architects and developers successfully secure planning permission in London’s most tightly controlled Conservation Areas.

Whether you’re planning an extension, alterations, new windows, roof works, or need a Heritage Statement, we handle everything from strategy to submission.

Why Conservation Area Applications Are More Complex

  • Conservation Areas require:
    • Stricter design controls
    • Higher-quality drawings
    • Heritage-led justification
    • Detailed Design & Access Statements
    • Specialist Heritage Statements
    • Evidence of “preserving or enhancing” the area

    Most applications fail because they don’t address heritage impact properly. We fix that.
