permitted development

Hi, I was wondering if I needed to make a full planning application or if everything that we would like to do falls under Permitted Development... does anybody know? Our terraced property originally looked like this on the ground floor: We believe that some time in the past, it was extended...

I have a semi detached property in BUCKS. On appeal, PP was granted for a front dormer window. The architect said I should only apply for PP for the dormer as a rear loft conversion I also wanted to do would fall under PD. Now that I am looking for quotes, someone raised concerns about...

Hi All, I live in a conservation area and want to build a summer house in our rear garden as a little play room for the young kids. I thought I was ok on the permitted development side of things until I realised the additional rules around a 'designated area'. The one I 'think' I fall foul of...

Hi All I am looking to buy a semi-detached property which currently has a rear ground floor extension (extension also goes slightly down one side of the house) and as the roof needs re-felting etc. I would like to know/clarify whether changing this roof to a pitched roof would require Planning...

Today I received my decision notice from Lewisham planning department unfortunately I've been refused a Certificate of Lawful Development for a loft conversion as the sky light on the flat roof was protruding beyond the highest point of the original pitched roof (~10cm). This wasn't really...

Hello all, I need some advice and clarification on a single story rear extension I want to build. Firstly, I'm pretty sure I would need Planning Permission based on my current drawings due to a sloping garden causing the height of the extension to exceed 4 meters. Also I have a low pitch due...

We had a single story extension in 2011 which is on the rear to the side of our house but where it joins our house it covers approx 300mm of the rear of our house. (Full planning required) Could we now extend the rear of our property within the 8m under permitted development or would we require...

First post...and sorry it is so long ; your advice is very much appreciated! Background: We live in a London suburb, semi detached house with an existing 3m rear extension (3.3m at eaves, a flat roof, built ~8 years ago). We originally applied via full planning for a loft, 1st floor rear/side...

I am looking to build a detached garage on my property. I am wondering if I will require planning permission. The red outline denotes land owned by me. The garage will be 7mx8m to accommodate 2x cars and some work area. We already have an existing single garage which will be removed (shown in...

Under permitted development, can we knock down the existing detached garage (1metre to the side of the house, fronting street) and attach it to the house, thus adding the current 1metre path to the garage footprint? We will also be changing the pitched garage roof to a flat roof, in-keeping with...

2.2m x 4m shed. I've built a timber shed in my garden that's within a metre of the house and boundary, I've been informed by the council that I'll need a building warrant. They've stated that unless it's a metre away from the house and the boundary then I need a warrant. Surely this means...

Hello, Looking for some advice. We bought a house just under a year ago which had had a ground floor extension and loft conversion done under permitted development. Around Christmas 2016 the local council planning office got in touch to say they were acting on a complaint made about the loft...

Right here it goes. I live in a bungalow to which an upstairs with dormers was added is the 70s. There is also a rear sloped roof extension and a small flat roof extension to the rear and covering half the width. I want to knock down these smaller ones and build one back a further 7m from the...

Hi, For the purposes of gaining a certificate of lawful development, are there any planning consultants out there that would care to comment on where my council is likely to think the rear of my house is? Any thoughts welcome. Many thanks. W.
