Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Tower Hamlets
Not always. Some rear extensions in Tower Hamlets can fall under permitted development, but many properties are affected by conservation area controls, flat status, listed building constraints or local planning sensitivities. We check the address and advise the correct route.
Is Tower Hamlets strict with loft conversions and extensions
Tower Hamlets can be strict where properties sit in conservation areas, on prominent terraces or where changes affect the street scene. A well-drawn proposal with the right planning approach is especially important here.
How long does Tower Hamlets Council take to decide
Householder planning applications are typically around eight weeks after validation. Lawful Development Certificate timescales are often around six to eight weeks, depending on validation and workload.
Do you manage the full application to Tower Hamlets Council
Yes. We prepare drawings, complete the forms, upload the documents, submit the application to Tower Hamlets Council and deal with planning queries during the process.
