Residential Architects Ealing: Design and Planning
We are award-winning residential architects. For homeowners comparing residential architects Ealing-wide, AURA can help with the design process and planning submission through to technical development and completion.
AURA has worked on residential projects in Ealing, Acton, Perivale and Northolt over a number of years, with our studio and team based in Clapham.
We focus on maximising space and using natural light to create a sense of airiness. Each design is shaped around your home, priorities and the relevant planning context.
Our transparent fixed-fee structure is supported by an itemised proposal, allowing you to understand where your budget is being allocated before work begins.

Planning Permission in Ealing
Some extensions and refurbishments may be possible under permitted development, but the rules depend on the property, previous alterations, location and proposed work.
For properties in Ealing, Acton, Perivale and Northolt, the London Borough of Ealing planning and building control service will usually be the relevant authority. Homes near borough boundaries may fall under Hounslow or Hillingdon, so the correct authority must be confirmed from the address.
Where work appears to fall within permitted development, a lawful development certificate may provide formal confirmation without an unnecessary planning application. Conservation areas, listed status, Article 4 directions and earlier planning conditions can alter what is permitted.
AURA can research planning history, develop the design, prepare drawings and manage the appropriate submission. Read our guide to planning permission and permitted development , or contact us for property-specific advice.
For projects involving below-ground accommodation, our guide to basement conversions explains additional design and technical considerations.
