planning permission

Hi guys, bit of a strange one and lengthy but please stick with me. Im totally new to this but i beleive the circumstances are so unique that it isnt straight forward enough to just jump in with both feet and instead i should seek advice from far more experienced/knowledgable than I. I bought...

Hi, I have recently made a complaint about our neighbours extension. The extension is built right up to our fence and outwards to what appears to be outside of planning rules. The building is constructed with what could possibly be inappropriate materials. The roof is corrugated plastic...

My dream would be to have my own home built on at least 1 acre of land in a semi-rural area where I can then begin to keep a few farm animals (maybe 5 - 10). Ideally I'd like to be on the edge of a village rather than out in the open countryside. On researching, it seems to me that this is near...

Hi. I live on a mobile Home park,all year round living, retirement place etc etc. We had a small brick patio where our table and chairs did not fit so we extended the patio out, using composite decking boards, laying the boards directly on top of the original patio and in the end doubling the...

Hi There, I bought a house with an adjacent parcel of land. The previous owner had planning permission approved for the land to be considered a residential garden and the driveway of the house goes through the land (an approved development). The house and the parcel of land still have separate...

I have recently employed a professional loft conversion company to carry out a basic roof light conversion (no dormer or anything). They used a private company who acted as the architect, structural engineer and building regs approved inspector. The SE calcs said a steel ridge beam was...

Hi, Im looking to convert half of my detached garage into a study. I have confirmed with local Building Control and the Planning department that I do not require planning permission or building regs as it conforms with permitted development. Even so I want to build to regulations completely. Im...

Hi everyone! I am hoping for some opinions on whether or not I need planning permission to alter my garden wall. The wall is 6ft high, and has a large curve as seen in the photos attached. I want to remove the curve and straighten it up as shown by my amazing artwork (not to scale). I have...

I have a plot of land that was granted planning permission to be used as a car show room about five years ago. Last year I got planning permission for "change of use" to a car park. I would now like to again use the site for a car show room and remove the car park. Do I need planning permission...

Hi. I live in the East Devon area of outstanding natural beauty in a rural semi detached house which is well outside (1 mile) any village/settlement/built up area. I'm interested in if I could split my relatively large garden and get planning for a new build. I'm struggling to find any advice...

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, First off, I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'm coming to you poor fellows for advice. I'm only really a DIY person when it comes to inside and smaller jobs like replacing taps, plug sockets, painting, small bit of plastering skirting boards etc. I moved into a house with an extension...

hi there. I have planning permission for a loft extension (needed as it's a flat i.e. not permitted dev rights) and is about to lapse. I've been told I can just start the job a number of ways to keep the planning 'alive' but might need some sort of evidence. I've got structural engineer...

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...

I'm planning a two storey side extension and I'm wondering about the "1m from boundary" guideline which seems to be mentioned, when discussing planning permission. I appreciate no neighbour wants an extension butting up against their property. In my case though, I'm on a corner plot where...

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...
