Planning Applications
You can search or find out about a decision on a planning application on Ealing Council’s planning website. Decisions are made taking into account the borough’s policies and government guidance.

Planning Portal
The Planning Portal is a single resource for planning information in England and Wales. It gives help on making planning applications, why planning controls exist, guidance on how and when to apply for planning permission and also how to appeal against a planning decision.

Conservation
Mill Hill Park was designated a conservation area in 1993. This has implications on the work you can carry out on your property such as cladding, inserting windows, installing satellite dishes and solar panels, adding conservatories or other extensions, laying paving or building walls.

As the council can change the types of alterations that need permission by making Article 4 Directions it is advisable to contact the council before making arrangements to starting any work.

Tree Preservation Orders
Trees and shrubs in a conservation area with a stem diameter measuring over 75mm. are protected. If you intend to carry out any works to such trees and/or shrubs you must notify the council’s planning service at least six weeks before any proposed works. This includes pruning work or extensive felling/removal.
