Do you need planning permission at all?

Please ensure that you definately need planning permission by checking our permitted development page. If your alteration is not on our permitted development page then it is likely that you need Planning permission as below. It is important to remember that the work you wish to carry out may also need permission from Building Control.

For householders looking to extend or alter their homes, minor developments or alterations to shopfronts we offer a free drop-in service at the One Stop Shop.

If you know that you dont need Planning permission and want proof of this, then you will need to apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness.

How to apply

There are two ways to make a planning application, either online via the Planning Portal or apply directly to the Council.

Applying online means that you complete your planning application on the Planning Portal which is an external website from the Council. They then submit the application to us for processing.

Applying via us (Redbridge Council) means completing the application by downloading the forms from our website.

No matter which way you choose, once submitted they take the same amount of time to process. Its up to you which method you prefer.
