The charm and appeal of Brentham comes from its green landscapes and the distinctive architecture of its well cared-for houses. Together they create an attractive oasis of calm in the busy 21st Century world – something that we all want to preserve. Brentham did not happen by accident – it was designed to look this way – and it has an important place in the architectural, social and town planning history of the 20th century.
The unique character of Brentham is described in the London Borough of Ealing’s Conservation Area Appraisal for Brentham Garden Estate.
The local authority designated Brentham a conservation area with Article 4 Direction which means strict planning controls are in force to preserve its special character.

London Borough of Ealing’s Planning policies for Brentham can be found in the three documents below. All three documents are consulted when applications are decided.
The first is the Generic Management Plan that sets the general policies for all Ealing conservation areas.
This is followed by the Brentham Management Plan which has more precise policy and information that only applies to Brentham.
The third is the Brentham Policy and Design Guide that gives specific advice about alterations.
The Brentham Society supplements these documents with some general advice.
