The Plan Hub

Permitted development · London

Permitted development in Brixton.

Permitted development lets some work go ahead without a full planning application, within set limits. In Brixton those limits are tighter in conservation areas and on Green Belt land. We confirm what applies and secure a lawful development certificate from London Borough of Lambeth where it is worth having.
