Ealing Planning Portal: Submit & Track Applications

Ealing Planning Portal – Submit and Track Applications Online

A practical guide to planning in the London Borough of Ealing, from checking whether you need permission to getting a decision.

Real Estate Development & Planning

Updated October 2026 · Fraser Bond

Updated October 2026

In short: In Ealing, planning applications are submitted through the national Planning Portal and tracked on Ealing Council's online planning register. Many popular house extensions and loft conversions can be done under permitted development, but flats, conservation areas (Ealing has many, including around Ealing Broadway and the Brentham Garden Estate) and Article 4 areas have stricter rules.

Project	Likely route
Rear extension on a house	Permitted development, prior approval for larger extensions, or householder planning
Loft dormer on a house	Often permitted development (not in conservation areas); building regs needed
Any external change to a flat	Full planning permission
Works in a conservation area	Often need planning; trees are protected too
Converting a house into flats	Full planning; space standards apply
Front garden parking (dropped kerb)	Highways approval and sometimes planning

Confirm with the council or a planning consultant before starting works.
