You need to complete the application form. Applying for different things such as advertisements, listed buildings, conservation area consents, certificates of lawfulness and certain demolition works requires filling in different forms.
You can download application forms on this website by clicking the link in the main navigation list, on the left side of this page. You can also obtain copies of all forms from Contact Islington; see the details on the right.
You should normally send in five copies of your planning permission application form. Further copies may be required, for example if you are also applying for listed building consent. You can use photocopies of your original. Further information can be found in the guidance notes on the Application Forms page.
You also have to apply to the council's Building Control service separately, for approval under the building regulations. Any missing or incorrect information on your application form will delay the progress of your application.
