Common questions about Enfield planning

Do I need planning permission in Enfield?

The rules are national, so the same exemptions apply in Enfield as everywhere else. Many small projects, such as some single-storey rear extensions, are exempt under S.I. 600/2001. Meath County Council decides applications here, and a site in a protected area or a protected structure has fewer exemptions.

Who decides planning applications in Enfield?

Meath County Council is the planning authority for Enfield. It must decide within eight weeks of a valid application, unless it asks for further information.

How many planning applications are granted in Enfield?

97 in 100 decided applications in Enfield were granted over the last 5 years, from 31 decisions.
