Fixed Fee Plans draws and submits planning applications in all 33 London boroughs for £895. London councils granted 20,556 of 23,967 householder decisions (85.8%) between 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026, according to MHCLG live table PS2. The table below gives every borough's count, so you can see the rate where you live.
Householder approval rates by London borough
Each row is summed from four quarters of MHCLG live table PS2, district planning application statistics (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026, retrieved 2026-10-09). “Granted” and “decisions” are PS2's householder developments columns, which include larger home extension prior approvals. “Within 8 weeks” excludes prior approvals. Where a council made fewer than 50 decisions we show the count without a percentage.
Why does the approval rate differ between London boroughs?
Partly the housing stock and partly the council. Boroughs with large conservation areas and Article 4 directions remove permitted development rights, so more small works need an application and more of them are judged against local design guidance. Outer boroughs with suburban semis see more larger home extension prior approvals, which PS2 counts in the same column. A rate is a description of what the council decided, not a prediction for your scheme, and a refused application is often one that was submitted without the drawings the council's validation list asks for.
Before you apply, run the permitted development checker: many London extensions and loft conversions need no application at all, and a certificate of lawfulness is the cheaper route where you want proof. Read do I need planning permission? for the rules.
