Sustainable retrofitting

Planning Duty Officer telephone service

Thank you for contacting the RBKC Planning department.

You can search, view and comment on applications using the Planning Applications Search on the council's website. The service is updated regularly, and key milestones and target dates are shown under "Proposal Details".

If you have submitted an application that is still within its statutory determination period, or an agreed extension of time, a progress update may not yet be available. If you need to speak to the planning officer dealing with your application, you can email them directly. Their contact details can be found in:

  • your planning application acknowledgement letter
  • any emails or letters about your application

For more information about planning applications, planning guidance, planning enforcement and other planning services, visit planning and building control.

Planning advice for your business or property is also available through our pre-application advice.

Householder guide to the Greening SPD

We've produced a Householder Guide to the Greening Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to help you upgrade your home. 

The guide is a shorter, simpler document that sits alongside our Greening SPD

It's not a statutory planning document but gives helpful guidance

We're also exploring Local Listed Building Consent Orders (LLBCO) to make common retrofit projects easier for listed building owners.
