Questions from homeowners in Ipswich

Can I have a cat flap in a Waterfront flat?

Not in the front door. Ask the management company about any ground-floor door.

I rent. Can I have a cat flap?

Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.

Who handles planning?

Ipswich Borough Council.
