| Do I need Planning
Permission? |
|
In principle, all development requires planning permission but
there are exceptions known as "permitted development" defined by
Government regulations. It
is important to remember that every house is different. There may
have been restrictions put on your home when it was first built
meaning a planning application will be needed anyway. Therefore,
your enquiry will always need thorough research to avoid us
giving you the wrong
advice.
If
your enquiry is not related to a dwelling, i.e. a business,
please write in describing your proposal.
Listed
Building? Conservation
Area?
This will greatly affect what you can and can't do. Please tell us
when making your enquiry.
