Before reporting an alleged breach of planning control, you should be aware that certain development, including small residential extensions and limited temporary uses or advertisements, can take place without the need for planning permission under permitted development rights.
If you consider that development is taking place without the required
planning permission you can inform us by telephone or e-mail or by letter but
preferably by downloading and completing the form below and emailing it to planningapplications@wandsworth.gov.uk.
