Conservation
If your home or business is in a conservation area, or is a listed building, different planning rules may apply.
When you don’t need planning permission
Find out what type of work you’re allowed to carry out by checking your permitted development rights.
You may want to apply for a lawful development certificate. This confirms that an existing or proposed use of land or development is lawful for planning purposes. It can help overcome any issues when you sell your property.
Penalties
If you start work without the correct permission or consent, you may be liable for enforcement action.
