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.
Check planning policy in your area
Your application stands a better chance of being granted planning permission if your plans and designs follow the Council’s planning policies and guidance.
Our Local Plan
The Local Plan contains the Council’s planning policies and sets out the future development of the borough looking ahead, identifying where the main developments will take place and how places within the borough will change, or be protected from change.
The Local Plan and other planning policy documents can be found on the planning policy page.
Check local planning information
Use our digital map to find local planning information relevant to a site or property, including:

Understanding the planning information and constraints relevant to your site should help inform the design of your proposals.
Works to trees
If your work will affect any trees, you must check if they have a tree preservation order (TPO) on them. Works to trees in conservation areas also require notification to the Council.
