Do I Need Planning
Permission?
Anyone who wishes to carry out
work on buildings or land may be required to, firstly, obtain
planning permission. Planning permission is necessary for a wide
range of development, including relatively minor alterations that
may affect the appearance or use of buildings.
The Planning Portal's
General Public section gives general advice
about the kinds of work for which you need to apply for planning
permission and those for which you do not.
The planning portal provides a number of toolkits which may assist
you. Please note however these are only intended to be a guide and
may not fully reflect Newham's local requirements pdf.

In addition, the Interactive house guide for a terraced or
semi-detached house provides visual guidance and information about
how planning permission might apply to various types of householder
projects.
