Planning applications for Holland Park homes — navigating RBKC planning and conservation, from pre-application advice to a submitted, well-argued householder application.

Almost any meaningful change to a Holland Park house engages the planning system, because most of the area is a conservation area where permitted-development rights are restricted. Getting consent is less about filling in a form and more about presenting a well-judged scheme that answers the council’s concerns before they are raised.
We handle the whole application: advising early on what is likely to be acceptable, using pre-application advice where it helps, preparing the drawings and supporting statements, and arguing the case in conservation and heritage terms that RBKC responds to. A scheme designed with consent in mind is far more likely to succeed than one designed in isolation.
Because we also build, our planning work is grounded in what can actually be delivered — so consent leads smoothly into construction rather than into a redesign. One team takes the project from idea through permission to finished house.
Consent in a conservation area is won by anticipating the council’s concerns, not just submitting a form.
In most of Holland Park, permitted-development rights are limited, so schemes need permission.
A scheme designed with the council’s concerns in mind is far more likely to succeed.
Where it helps, early advice from RBKC reduces risk before a full application.
