Every Redbridge postcode district we draw in, the stock that dominates it and the authority that validates a planning drawing set there. Redbridge fees below are the statutory England rates for 2026, not planning drawing set estimates.
| Postcode | Area | Dominant stock | What it means for a planning drawing set |
|---|---|---|---|
| E18 | South Woodford | Edwardian villas, 1930s semi-detached | A planning drawing set at an E18 address in South Woodford is determined by Redbridge Council under its own Local Plan policies for South Woodford. |
| IG1 | Ilford Central | Edwardian terraces, post-war flats | A planning drawing set at an IG1 address in Ilford Central is determined by Redbridge Council under its own Local Plan policies for Ilford Central. |
| IG2 | Gants Hill / Newbury Park | 1930s semi-detached | Gants Hill / Newbury Park sits wholly inside IG2, so Redbridge Council validates every planning drawing set submitted from an IG2 address. |
| IG3 | Seven Kings | 1930s semi-detached dominates outer Redbridge; Edwardian terraces and villas in Wanstead and South Woodford; post-war estates in Ilford central | A planning drawing set at an IG3 address in Seven Kings is determined by Redbridge Council under its own Local Plan policies for Seven Kings. |
| IG4 | Redbridge / Wanstead | 1930s semi-detached dominates outer Redbridge; Edwardian terraces and villas in Wanstead and South Woodford; post-war estates in Ilford central | IG4 covers Redbridge / Wanstead only; Redbridge Council handles the planning drawing set, and Redbridge / Wanstead case officers apply the IG4 conservation-area map. |
| IG5 | Clayhall | 1930s semi-detached dominates outer Redbridge; Edwardian terraces and villas in Wanstead and South Woodford; post-war estates in Ilford central | IG5 covers Clayhall only; Redbridge Council handles the planning drawing set, and Clayhall case officers apply the IG5 conservation-area map. |
| IG6 | Barkingside / Hainault | 1930s semi-detached | IG6 covers Barkingside / Hainault only; Redbridge Council handles the planning drawing set, and Barkingside / Hainault case officers apply the IG6 conservation-area map. |
| IG7 | Chigwell | 1930s semi-detached dominates outer Redbridge; Edwardian terraces and villas in Wanstead and South Woodford; post-war estates in Ilford central | Chigwell sits wholly inside IG7, so Redbridge Council validates every planning drawing set submitted from an IG7 address. |
Roof pitch, wall build-up and plot depth change every few Redbridge streets, and each one changes what a planning drawing set can achieve at that address.
Conservation areas covering Redbridge: Redbridge Council runs 14, and Aldersbrook, Woodford Green, Wanstead Village are the ones Redbridge owners meet most. A planning drawing set inside a Redbridge conservation area loses permitted development, so the Redbridge submission is a householder application at £548 decided in 8 weeks — not a £249 prior approval decided in 6 weeks. In Aldersbrook a planning drawing set is judged on the street elevation first.
Article 4 and your Redbridge planning drawing set: Redbridge Council has made no borough-wide direction, so permitted development for a planning drawing set in Redbridge generally survives outside Redbridge conservation areas and listed curtilages. A Lawful Development Certificate at £274 is how a E18 owner records that a planning drawing set was lawful.
The building fabric around Redbridge: 1930s semi-detached dominates outer Redbridge; Edwardian terraces and villas in Wanstead and South Woodford; post-war estates in Ilford central. Outer London suburban; permitted development used heavily for loft conversions and single-storey rear extensions. A planning drawing set in Redbridge is scoped against that stock first, because it decides whether the scheme runs as permitted development, a £274 Lawful Development Certificate, or a full £548 application to Redbridge Council.

Of 285 appeals on new-dwelling schemes decided in Redbridge over the window covering appeals decided 2016-2026, Redbridge sat close to the London norm, with 18.6% of appeals succeeding against 22.4% city-wide. 53 were allowed and 231 dismissed, with 1 split. Schemes creating a new home - conversions, infills, small developments - carry the most risk, and these 285 Redbridge appeals are only the ones refused or left undetermined, never the approvals.
Half of those Redbridge appeals took more than 104 days to decide from the day the appeal started — time added on top of the council's own determination period, which is the argument for getting the application right first. 98.9% were decided by written representations rather than a hearing or inquiry, meaning the written case and the drawings were the whole of the evidence.

Direct answers to the questions Redbridge homeowners ask every week about planning permission drawings.
Start a free quote →Our Redbridge planning fee is fixed before we start and depends on the route — a householder application is the simplest, while major works, change of use and flat conversions carry more drawings and supporting documents. Redbridge Council also charges its own statutory application fee on top, set nationally. See our fees for current figures.
Once validated, Redbridge Council aims to decide householder applications within 8 weeks and major applications within 13 weeks — consistent with statutory targets. Our typical end-to-end timeline from instruction to submission is 3–4 weeks.
