Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Southwark
Not always. Many householder rear extensions can be permitted development, but conservation areas and Article 4 Directions can change what is allowed. We confirm the correct route once we review your address and house type.
Is Southwark strict with loft conversions and dormers
Southwark can be stricter in conservation areas and on streets with strong character, especially where roof alterations affect the street scene. Strong drawings and a clear design approach usually help the process.
How long does Southwark Council take to decide
Householder planning applications usually take six to eight weeks after validation. Lawful Development Certificates are often around four to six weeks, depending on workload and the completeness of the submission.
Do you manage the full application to Southwark Council
Yes. We prepare drawings, complete forms, upload documents, submit to Southwark Council and respond to planning officer queries until a decision is issued.
