The permitted development allowances changed from 1 October 2008.
The government has given a range of minor developments to houses exemption from planning control. This is called permitted development and you don't need to apply to us for planning permission for these works.
View the interactive Householders Guide on the Planning Portal to find out about the new rules or contact the Duty Planning Officer on 020 8496 3000 or email dcmail@walthamforest.gov.uk.
The changes only affect development to single houses and does not apply to flats; any development to a flat will still require planning permission.
