Windows - planning permission


Landy10

Recommended Posts

Hello


I've recently placed an order to have new double glazed timber sash windows installed on my property. These will replace the old, draughty aluminium windows currently in the house. I happened to be speaking to a planning person at Southwark Council and made a passing comment about this. He has just told me I need planning permission for this! It will take 8 weeks! This is after the date my new windows are meant to be installed.


I'm also told I need to include front elevation drawings with my application. Does anyone know a local architect that would be able to do these kind of drawings really quickly and not charge over the odds?


I'd really appreciate any feedback as now I'm worried I will lose my deposit!


Thanks!

Building Regs doesn't overide Planning Permission, they are separate issues.

Yes, a FENSA company can do the Building Regs side of things, but planning may still be required regardless i.e Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings.

    • I'm utterly baffled as to why anybody thinks this is newsworthy, let alone worth a front page. The economy has barely grown for 20 years and the housing crisis has been worsening for a similar time period. Note to any journalists on the forum: maybe focus your headlines on important issues.
    • Two wrongs might not make a right. But the two wrongs could at least be of equal value before we get too judgey    paying an estate agent to deal with all of the admin on my to have the estate agent not point out all of the admin  vs Deliberately hacking into an MPs email. And boasting about it (Badenoch)    as for throwing a local estate agent under the bus, when did local estate agents become the good guys?   doesn’t sound like estate agents are being thrown under a bus - they are fessing up. And Reeves doesn’t look to have done anything wrong  yet people will still believe the worst anyway    https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/oct/30/rachel-reeves-row-standards-adviser-looking-at-new-infomation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
    • Now who might that be?
    • Harvey and Wheeler in Dulwich Village? Only one I know… How can they offer to apply and never did? Surely; whether they are managing the property or not and with tech been so advanced I would have thought they would have been a couple of e mails sent as a reminder or, is it the Landlord’s responsibility to apply… Rental Law/ Bill has just come  into force  - can’t remember if it was this week or last and have been to busy to read.. However, will as assume it is not individual councils but all councils. Came up on Which on line.. Good point Jen Jen Jen - sure some knowledgable person on here can throw more light than I.
