Finding the planning portal, and what to have ready

The surest way to reach any council's planning service is through the government's find your local council tool, which links to the official site. From there you can search past applications on your street and find how the council asks you to submit a new one.

A submission asks for drawings. For work to an existing house those start with the floor plans of what is there now, so the survey is worth commissioning before you open the portal. Our measured building survey page explains what is measured.

Existing plans, proposed plans and what comes after

Existing floor plans show each level as it stands. Proposed plans show the change. Add elevations, sections, a site plan and a location plan and you have the standard set most householder applications need, which is what our Bexley planning permission page walks through.

If you only want a plan of the layout, perhaps to sell, let or reorganise rooms, the floor plan stands on its own. Our floor plans hub covers the service for the whole of London.

Bexley planning in figures

Bexley made 877 householder decisions in the four quarters to 2026 Q2, and 14% of them were prior approvals (our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2).

Of the householder decisions that were not prior approvals, 100% were made within eight weeks once rounded, with only a handful taking longer (our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2).

Of the householder appeals decided against Bexley since 2021, 34% were allowed (our analysis of the Planning Inspectorate Casework Database).

Of the larger home extension prior approvals the council granted or refused over the eight quarters to 2026 Q2, 45% were granted (our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS1). That share leaves out notifications where the council said prior approval was not required, which the statistics count separately.

It also decided 586 certificates of lawful development in those eight quarters (our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS1), and the national register holds 31 conservation-area entries for the borough (our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area dataset). For a particular street, the map on Bexley's website is the one to check. Both are explained in the glossary entries on lawful development certificates and conservation areas.
