Once validated by the council, a householder application takes 8 weeks for a decision. Major or full applications take 13 weeks. Our end-to-end lead time from instruction to submission is typically 3–4 weeks.
Permitted Development rights are restricted in conservation areas and removed entirely on listed buildings. You'll need full planning and, for listed buildings, Listed Building Consent too. Our Custom tier handles these — we've submitted in every central London conservation area.
Councils charge statutory planning fees directly. Current (2026) rates: householder application £258, full dwellinghouse £578, advertisement £165. These are paid to the council, not to us. We confirm the exact fee before submitting.
No one can guarantee planning approval — but our success rate is 98% first time. If refused, we offer a free resubmission addressing the officer's reasons, or a 50%-rate appeal to the Planning Inspectorate.
Yes. Article 4 removes specific Permitted Development rights — common across Islington, Camden, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest and others for HMOs and some extensions. We check Article 4 status during the initial quote and price accordingly.
