In short: Camden Council publishes planning applications on its online planning search, where you can find applications by address, postcode or reference number, read plans and decision notices, and comment during consultation. New applications are submitted through the national Planning Portal. Camden has many conservation areas and listed buildings, so alterations such as windows, basements and roof extensions are tightly controlled. Before applying, check whether your property is in a conservation area, is listed or is covered by an Article 4 direction, and consider paid pre-application advice for larger projects.
