Make a Planning Application

Is Planning Permission Required?

If you want to build an extension to your property or do other work to your home, or if you want to expand your business or change the use of your premises, you may need to apply for planning permission. Some minor alterations and extensions, particularly to houses, can often be carried out without the need for planning permission. This is known as permitted development.

View the Planning Portals interactive house to see if you need to apply.
