Do I Need Planning Permission?
The Planning
Portal provides information and
useful tools for householders on whether you will need planning
permission. You can also visit the
UK Planning website to find out more information.
Work You Can Carry Out Without Permission
The following information provides general guidance on
minor domestic works which can normally be carried out without
planning permission. However, professional advice should always be
sought before carrying out any works as the regulations are
complex. Particular care must be taken if the house is a listed
building, within a conservation area or is in an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). For example, within a
conservation area or
AONB
, no cladding of
any part of the exterior with stone, artificial stone, timber,
plastic or tiles, can be carried out. View our Listed Buildings webpage
for further advice.
Calculating the volume of a building or
extension is not easy. It is important to get it right if you are
deciding whether planning permission will be needed. To help you we
have provided a handy Volume
Calculator.
