London Borough of Lambeth — planning applications are decided under the Lambeth Local Plan and the London Plan.

Planning in Lambeth

Our Streatham work sits in a borough with strong design guidance for rear extensions and roof alterations, and a high proportion of flats — so we often navigate freeholder consent alongside planning.

Lambeth's Residential Design Guidance is a useful pre-read for anyone planning an extension in the borough.

How we work with homeowners in Streatham

We are based in Morden, so a site visit anywhere in Lambeth is straightforward. The first step is a free 20-minute call: tell us the address and what you are hoping to do, and we will give you an honest read on what the council is likely to approve before you spend anything.

Planning questions we hear in Lambeth

Do I need planning permission for an extension in Lambeth?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall within permitted development, but Lambeth's conservation areas and any Article 4 directions change that. We check the property's status before advising.
How long does Lambeth council take to decide a householder application?
The statutory period is 8 weeks from validation. Allow 10 to 12 weeks in practice, and longer if the application goes to committee.
Which parts of Lambeth are conservation areas?
Lambeth's Residential Design Guidance is a useful pre-read for anyone planning an extension in the borough.
