Permitted Development Rights for Residential Homeowners.
In 2019, The government extended the permitted development rights for householders which allow the improvement or extension of homes without the requirement to apply for full planning permission. It is important that homeowners understand how the can exercise their rights to carry out development while protecting the interests of their neighbours and the wider environment. Permitted Development does not remove the right to apply for consent, which still needs to be done under various applications such as ‘Certificate of Lawfulness for Proposed Use’ and ‘Neighbour Consultation Scheme for Larger Home Extensions’.
Householder permitted development rights are set out in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development (England) Order 2015). Part 1 of Schedule 2 in the Order sets out the permitted development rules concerning what enzlargements, improvements, alterations and other additions a householder may make to their house and the areas around it. There are limitations set within these rights and householders are still required to produce and submit architectural drawings to obtain the relevant consents under Permitted Development.
If you are thinking of extending your home and require architectural and planning services, please contact us today to obtain a design fee appraisal and free advise on planning information that may be relevant to your development.
