977 householder decisions in a year
Our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS2 (released 24 Sep 2026) counts 977 householder decisions for Wandsworth across the four quarters 2025 Q3 to 2026 Q2, prior approvals included.
Of the householder decisions that were not prior approvals, 91% were made within 8 weeks. With volumes like that, the case officer sees many drawings; clear, consistent ones make the review easier. Our page on planning permission in Wandsworth covers the application.
Existing plans, then the design
We measure first, because a design drawn over a guess has to be redrawn. Our measured building survey gives the dimensions and the floor plan turns them into a drawing you can design on.
A full set for a submission is covered under architectural drawings.
