Prior Approvals for Larger Extensions
As a Homeowner, you may enjoy permitted development rights. Click here for more info.
Householder Prior Approval Notifications are required to notify your local authority that you seek their prior approval for a larger single-storey extension up to twice the depth as afforded by standard permitted development rights;
Detached House - from 4m to 8m
Semi-Detached & Terraced- from 3m to 6m
The Local Authority will determine whether:
Prior Approval is Required, and where it is deemed to be required;
and:
Whether Prior Approval is Granted
Your application will benefit from accurate scaled drawings to show your existing property, and a set of drawings to present your proposal.
Notifications of Prior Approval may take up to 42 days to determine. Subject to Legislation there may be a deemed consent should the Authority not decide the notification after 56 days.
This type of application does not permit the LPA to assess the application against their local planning policy.
Notifications for prior approval are not planning applications, but are the current mechanism to achieve larger householder extensions in accordance with the GPDO.
Prior Approval notifications for larger extensions may not be sought retrospectively.
The local authority is required to consult your immediate affected property owners and letters will be sent to your neighbours. Depending on Council, notifications for prior approval may not be visible on Local Authority Planning Searches.
"Our experience was a reliable service from Rubix and they know their stuff! The application presented very well to Council planners and it got my planning approved. Will be using again."
