Council Planning Guide

What You Can Build in Your Borough

Choose the council first, then work through extensions, lofts, basements, flats, conservation areas, listed buildings and application strategy in the right planning context.

Councils Covered

Camden, Barnet, Islington, Haringey, Westminster, RBKC, City of London Corporation, Hammersmith & Fulham, Wandsworth, Merton, Richmond upon Thames and Lambeth.

Page Structure

Each borough page uses the same 50-card framework so users can compare the right topics council by council.

Why This Matters

The planning guide is an information layer. Planning & Permissions remains a separate live service for scheme design and submissions.

Best Use

Start with the authority, then review the topic cards that apply to your property type, conservation status and proposed works.
