The local check
What changes from one property to another
Much of Dulwich sits under the Dulwich Estate's Scheme of Management.
It is a second consent on top of planning permission.
Freeholders need a licence from the Estate before any structural change or anything that alters the outside.
That includes removing an internal wall, replacing windows and fitting a boiler flue.
Replacing kitchen units on their own does not need it; knocking the kitchen through to the dining room does.
The Estate's own guidance puts rear extensions at around 3m from the rear wall and 3m high to a flat-roof parapet.
It asks for a 600mm offset from a shared boundary unless your neighbour agrees in writing.
Southwark's householder guidance is the one to read before you draw anything.
Permitted development does not apply to flats or maisonettes at all, so any external change needs a full application.
A large single-storey rear extension can go ahead under permitted development, with Prior Approval.
That means the council writes to your neighbours first.
In a conservation area, or under an Article 4 direction, those permitted development rights are cut back again.
We check the actual address and the proposed work before saying what consent is needed.
Check the rules for your address
