Permitted Development
As a Homeowner, you may have permitted development rights over your land. This gives you the right to carry out certain extensions to your house and within the curtilage of your land, subject to meeting specific criteria laid out in Legislation.
Domestic projects which may be possible under Permitted Development typically include:
Porches (under 3sq.m)
Single Storey Side Extensions
Single Storey Rear Extensions
Rear roof extensions
Hip to Gable roof extensions
Garden Outbuildings
Your application will ordinarily require accurate scaled drawings to show your existing property, and a set of drawings to present your proposal.
Certificates of Lawful Use take 8 weeks to determine once registered by the Local Planning Authority.
This type of application does not permit the LPA to assess the application against their local planning policy. No letters will be sent to your neighbours.
Applications for householders are assessed against Schedule 2, Part 1 of the General Permitted Development Order (England) 2015 - as amended. Rubix will provide all clients with a copy of this legislation and advise you of its interpretations and opportunities specific to your project.
