Planning in Brent
Brent's Local Plan encourages density and family-sized housing, with a strong steer on brick-led materiality and neighbour amenity.
Brent sets clear expectations on rear and side extension depth and dormer size, with stricter rules inside its conservation areas. We design to the Brent Residential Extensions and Alterations SPD.
Typical housing we see in Queen's Park:
- Period terraces and semis around Queen's Park centre
- Post-war infill closer to the NW6 boundary
- Larger detached stock on the leafy northern edge
- Mixed-use frontages along the main high street
How we work
We start remotely: a Matterport scan gives an accurate 3D model of your home, we design options you review on video calls, then produce concept drawings. Planning and Building Regulations drawings follow only if your project needs them.

Everything you need to know about working with DOR Architects.
The statutory target for householder applications is 8 weeks after validation, though councils can extend this. We build that into your timeline.
No — no architect can. We test your proposal against local policy and precedent first so you only submit a scheme with a realistic chance.
Our Stages 0–2 (survey, existing drawings and concept design) are offered as a fixed estimated fee; planning drawings (Stage 3) and Building Regulations drawings (Stage 4) are optional add-ons only if you need them.
