Before you apply
It is essential that you establish whether planning permission needs to be obtained before starting any building work, otherwise enforcement action may be taken against you.
Residential and business projects
If you are intending to carry out building work on your property (whether a flat, house or business), you may need to obtain planning permission first. The information within this section will help you establish whether planning permission is required for various types of common residential and business projects - such as adding a conservatory or extension, erecting a fence, gate or garden wall or installing a satellite dish - and if so, inform you about what type of application you will need to submit and what supporting documentation you will need to supply with it.
We can also provide you with pre-application advice.
