Securing planning permission in Bexley can be straightforward – with the right approach. The borough covers a wide range of housing types, from Victorian terraces in Sidcup to 1930s semis and post-war chalet bungalows across New Eltham, Welling and Bexleyheath. Each area brings its own design context and planning considerations.

We’ve supported numerous applications in Bexley, from modest extensions to full new builds. Understanding the borough’s local planning guidance – and how to present proposals that balance policy with ambition – is key. Whether you're working in a conservation area, on a corner plot or simply trying to maximise your home’s potential, our experience can help make the process smoother.

Bexley Council offers both householder applications and permitted development routes. Knowing when to apply for each, and how to prepare drawings, statements and supporting information, can make all the difference.
