To find out whether planning permission is required for
householder developments, including extensions and additions to a
dwelling or within the residential boundaries of a dwelling, you
will need to submit an application for a certificate of lawfulness for proposed
development.
It is in your own interest that you submit a formal application
to ascertain whether planning permission is required for your
proposal. The reasons for this are firstly, to avoid possible
enforcement action being taken should development be carried out
which requires planning permission and second, it provides the
necessary documentation required for both mortgage / loan providers
and to future prospective purchasers.
To learn more about the need for planning permission
further information and advice can be found on the Planning Portal
website using the interactive tool (external
link) and by accessing common projects (external
