Chiswick Mall and Strand on the Green Conservation Areas with many listed buildings; Hounslow Council requires listed building consent for all internal and external works to listed properties. In boundary and party wall disputes on Hounslow property, the planning and conservation history is often part of the documentary record we review, since it can evidence what was known, or should have been known, when the disputed works were carried out.

Getting to Chiswick

Our surveyors cover Chiswick and the surrounding Hounslow area. The area is accessible via Turnham Green (District line), Chiswick (National Rail), and our team carries out regular inspections across Chiswick W4.

The local context on this page is drawn from public planning and conservation sources, together with the procedural framework expert evidence in civil proceedings runs on: Hounslow conservation areas; Hounslow Article 4 directions; Civil Procedure Rules Part 35 — Experts and Assessors; Practice Direction 35 — Experts and Assessors; RICS Rules of Conduct. These sources support the area context; they do not replace inspection of the specific building, and the exact planning, conservation-area and Article 4 position should be confirmed with the council for the specific address.
