Planning in Tower Hamlets
Local planning rules for bathroom renovations in Tower Hamlets.
Tower Hamlets conservation areas include Spitalfields (centred on Brick Lane and Whitechapel), Stepney Green and parts of Isle of Dogs. Article 4 directions cover parts of E1 and E2 removing PD for alterations visible from the street. The borough's Local Plan encourages sensitive additions to its heritage stock. Most terrace extensions and loft conversions outside conservation areas can follow the PD route; within them, full planning is required with Design and Access Statements.
Our planning team handles the full submission for Tower Hamlets addresses including drawings, Design and Access Statements where required, and pre-application consultation with the council. We tell you whether your bathroom renovation is permitted development, prior approval, or full planning before you sign anything.
