One of the requirements is that EEA Nationals and family members need to have been resident in the United Kingdom for a minimum 5 years and also during this period, exercising their treaty rights during this time. (i.e.. working, studying).
If you are not married or in a Civil partnership to a British citizen, you will need to be free of such restrictions for a further 12 months prior to be classed as settled.
The five years continuous exercise of treaty rights is broken if you are out of the UK for any period of 6 months or more in any single year.
Permanent residence gained in this way will be lost if you are absent from the UK for a continuous period of 2 or more years.
You may wish to note a new law came into force on 30th April 2006 regarding members of the European state of which you appear to be. This law states that in order for an EEA National to obtain Permanent residency, they need to have been exercising their Treaty rights in the United Kingdom for a period of 5 years on or after 30th April 2006. Unless they have acquired any other Immigration status.
Therefore, the earliest a person that has been exercising their Treaty rights and not married or in a Civil partnership to a British citizen could submit an application for Naturalisation is 30th April 2007.
As Poland did not join the EU until 01-May-2004, the earliest you can apply would be the 01-May-2010.

Z tego wynika, że tak jak pisał Jaro, potrzebne jest sześć lat od przybycia do UK, oraz, co jest ważne - nie wystarczy tu po prostu mieszkać, trzeba pracować albo uczyć się.
