Minor changes within the curtilage of a residential dwelling may be made without the need to apply for formal Planning Permission. These rights are called Permitted Development Rights. Development could include:

• Extensions - Planning Portal guide on Extensions
• Loft Conversions - Planning Portal guide on Loft Conversions
• Porches - Planning Portal guide on Porches
• Conservatories - Planning Portal guide on Conservatories
• Boundary alterations
• Roof alterations
• Provision of hard standing
• Creation of vehicular access
• Outbuildings - Planning Portal guide to Outbuildings
• Satellite Dishes

In some instances the Local Planning Authority may have removed these rights to ensure full control over the type of development carried out. In this instance Planning Permission would be required.

You are therefore strongly advised to complete and submit the Planning and Building Control Questionnaire prior to commencement of works in order to ascertain whether Planning Permission is required.

For more information please contact Development Advice and Control or visit the Planning Portal website.
