Planning permission or permitted development
Before you start any
building work you will need to establish if your project can be done under
permitted development or whether you will need to apply for planning
permission.
Your architect will be able
to advise you on this alternatively you can speak the planning office at your
local council. If you do need planning permission it generally takes 8 weeks
from submission of a planning application to a decision. As part of your
planning application you will need to supply certain items including drawings
of your current and proposed property.
