Planning application
1 Sopwith Avenue, E17 6TD
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Lawful Development Certificate (Proposed) - temporary removal of facade elements to allow access to the internal cavities, where insulation and cavity barriers (fire-stopping components within the wall build-up) will be replaced. Once complete, all facade materials will be reinstated, with any damaged items replaced to match the existing finish.

About lawful development applications
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination that existing or proposed works do not need planning permission; the merits of the scheme are not considered. More in our guide to planning application types.
