Householder advice

For householders looking to extend or alter their homes we offer a free drop-in service at the One Stop Shop. This will usually answer questions such as "Do I need Planning Permission?".

It is important to remember that the work you wish to carry out may also need permission from Building Control; for advice on this you can contact them on 020 8708 2529 or visit their web page What is Building Control?

Major and complex developments

Redbridge offers an advanced pre-application service suited to the type of proposal and the needs of applicants and developers who are looking to build new housing units or more complex developments within the Borough.

The pre-application facility offers very clear advice about whether the authority will recommend a scheme, changes which can be made so that a scheme can be recommended and confirmation of what information will be needed to submit a valid application.

There are five types of application which are listed below;

  • Small (1-3 dwellings and non residential <300m²)
  • Medium (4-9 dwellings and non-residential up to 900m²)
  • Major (10-25 units and non-residential between 1000m²-2000m²)
  • Large Major (Over 25 units and non-residential over 2000m²)
  • Tender proposals

Further advice on the levels of service and charges can be found on the below pre-application leaflet:
