What makes Hillingdon Special?

Hillingdon’s charm lies not only in its green belt and stunning parks but also in its rich architectural heritage. The numerous grade-II listed houses dotting the environment are evidence of Ruislip’s origins as a rural village and they come out at the Duck Pond Market held at the Great Barn where traders in foods and other handmade products dominate the market. You can get food from the market and have lunch in the scenic area among the preserved wildflowers in this historic region.

For those in search of a similar environment, Swakeleys House Georgian manor or anything about Ickenham in more depth, then visitors really get a sense of how people here are able to relax and find solace amidst idyllic countryside and a village market that may not necessarily appear rushed. These historic gems coupled with Hillingdon’s commitment to preserving its green spaces and trees add to the serene vibe without isolating the borough from the contemporary world.

  • 1930s semis dominate UB8 — ideal for rear and loft projects.
  • Green Belt and protected land restrict development — full planning is usually required.
  • Strong local demand means well-designed extensions consistently add lasting property value.
  • Hillingdon Council works to a clear 8-week householder planning decision timeline.

What Our Clients Say About

Hillingdon Planning Permission for House Extension

Famous for its rigour in planning policies, each submission to Hillingdon Council is examined in granular, meticulous detail. To help assure that they do not need to spend unnecessary time reviewing site plans and architectural drawings, they need precise high quality documentation. As such, it is important that architects offer highly accurate project details from the beginning. Despite these exacting standards, however, Extension Architecture has decades of experience successfully meeting them, from its many high-end residential as well as commercial clients.

It depends on location. Green Belt and protected land across Hillingdon usually require a full application to London Borough of Hillingdon, even for small extensions. Streets outside those designations often keep Permitted Development rights. We check your address free of charge before any design begins.
Hillingdon properties suit single-storey rear extensions, double-storey additions, side returns, loft conversions, and wraparound extensions. The dominant stock across UB8, UB10 is 1930s semis, which responds well to these approaches. We advise on the right option for your home and budget free of charge.
Yes, but Green Belt rules limit how much you can add — typically a proportionate increase over the original floor area. Full planning from London Borough of Hillingdon is required. We assess your plot and advise on a realistic scheme free before design work begins.
London Borough of Hillingdon targets 8 weeks for householder applications from validation. Conservation area or more complex cases can take up to 13 weeks.
