A Place Where Design Matters
Queen’s Park is one of those rare London neighbourhoods that balances heart and polish. Tree-lined avenues, long gardens, Victorian detailing and a growing appetite for quality design – it’s a dream to work in, if you get it right.
At DOR Architects, we specialise in helping homeowners and developers make the most of their space – whether that’s a rear extension off Chevening Road, a loft and layout rethink on Kingswood Avenue, or a discreet infill home behind Salusbury Road. Our approach is design-led but planning-savvy. We care about flow, light, structure and detail – not just form.
We’re not here to add noise. We’re here to deliver architecture that fits.
“The brief wasn’t complicated. ‘We love the house. We just need it to work.’ That’s Queen’s Park - where architecture is lived, not just looked at.”

Planning in Queen’s Park: What You Should Know
Queen’s Park falls within Brent Council, with parts edging into Westminster. It’s a borough with strong local identity and clear expectations around design, density and change.
Key planning considerations include:
-
Queen’s Park Conservation Area design constraints
-
Permitted development limits in protected zones
-
Conversion and subdivision rules tied to amenity, space and layout
-
Infill, backland and garden sites assessed against privacy and access
-
Neighbour daylight/sunlight and massing rules for extensions
We work closely with Brent’s planning team – and we build applications around what works locally.

FAQs – Queen’s Park Architecture & Planning
Sometimes. If you’re outside the Conservation Area, you may have more rights – but every case is different. We’ll review early and advise clearly.
In principle, yes – but Brent applies space, access and amenity standards strictly. We’ll test feasibility first.
Possibly. We’ve delivered small sites across NW6 and W10 where access, daylight and scale support it. Success depends on design and strategy.
Yes. We believe flow, lighting, storage and material choices are part of the architecture – not an afterthought.
