If your proposals involve House Extension, external house alterations, house conversion to flats you will require planning permission. Planning Applications are decided by a local planning committee. Planning guidelines for proposals can differ between councils. Planning applications can take 8-10 weeks to get processed whether the proposals are small or large in scale.
What are Permitted development rights?
Not all projects require planning permission, if you have never had extensions on your property before, don’t live in a listed building or in a conservation area and fitting other criteria you may qualify for a Lawful Development Certificate.
