The Plan Hub

Permitted development · London

Permitted development in Balham.

Permitted development lets some work go ahead without a full planning application, within set limits. In Balham 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 Wandsworth where it is worth having.
