Estates and blocks
Lambeth has many council and housing association estates. In blocks, flat entrance doors must stay intact as fire doors. Ground-floor homes with their own garden door may have an option, but always with the landlord's agreement.
Houses and conversions
Victorian and Edwardian houses in Clapham, Brixton and Streatham are often converted into flats. Whole houses usually have a rear door that suits a cat flap, and many are in conservation areas where front doors are the most sensitive.

Questions from homeowners in Lambeth
I'm a council tenant. Can I have a cat flap?
Only with your landlord's permission, and not in a flat's front door.
I own a leasehold flat. What do I need to check?
Your lease, which usually needs the freeholder's written consent for changes to doors, windows or walls. A flat's front door in a shared building is a fire door and can't take a flap.
Who handles planning?
Lambeth Council.
