You may be able to undertake changes to your property without seeking planning permission from the council.
Such changes can be carried out under permitted development rights. You can seek further advice on permitted development rights and whether you need planning permission to carry out works on your home at the Planning Portal website.
Please note, permitted development rights can be adapted or removed (your property's status in this regard may have been brought to your attention on purchasing).
In addition, permitted development rights can be different for listed buildings and properties in conservation areas.
Irrespective of whether you need planning permission, your works may require approval under building regulations.
We offer pre-application planning advice for all types of proposed developments or works.
We charge a fee for this service.
