Planning Permission in Lewisham

Planning permission is an essential factor of any changes to your property. You can engage the services of an architect or architectural services company to direct you through the process of obtaining planning permission for your home extension. Architects are familiar with submitting planning applications, and will have a good understanding of the requirements and limitations both nationally and in your local area. The requirements for planning permission do differ among local authorities, and they will take into consideration things like the style of the houses in the area, car parking requirements, and the needs of neighbouring properties, among other aspects. In addition, planning permission requirements are more restrictive in conservation areas or if your house is a listed building. Architects can help with every aspect of your planning application, from producing technical and architectural drawings to submitting paperwork with the local authority. They are able to also make sure that your proposed work is designed to a high standard, creating usable and aesthetically pleasing spaces that will suit your current property. Although some alterations to your home are allowed by permitted development rights and as a consequence won't require planning permission, you'll still need to comply with building regulations. Hiring an architect to draft the plans for your alteration will make sure that any work you undertake will abide by these regulations and be of a high standard.

The London Borough of Lewisham is a London borough in south-east London, England and forms a part of Inner London. The borough wasestablished in 1965, by the London Government Act 1963, as an amalgamation of the former location of the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham and also the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford, which had been established in 1900 as divisions of the County of London. However, minor boundary changes have occurred since its creation. The most considerable amendments were made in 1996, when the former part of the Royal Docks in Deptford was transferred from the London Borough of Greenwich.

The River Thames forms a short section of northern boundary together with the Isle of Dogs in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Deptford Creek, Pool River, River Quaggy and River Ravensbourne pass through the borough.

As outlined by population estimates produced during 2014, Lewisham is a borough with roughly 291933 permanent residents. About 43 per cent of homes are owner-occupiers.
