There’s a reason a good planning application for Shortlands doesn’t read the same as one for a different part of London: part of the London Borough of Bromley, which has 43 conservation areas. That single fact shapes design choices, required documents, and even how much scrutiny a straightforward extension gets.
Plenty of applications from Shortlands residents stumble not because the project itself was unreasonable, but because whoever prepared it treated the area like generic London rather than accounting for what’s specific here.
We don’t hand Shortlands enquiries to whoever’s free. You get someone whose recent work has genuinely been in this part of London, so the advice reflects what’s actually happening here right now, not a generic script.
