ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND PLANNING

---

Permitted development rights allow householders to improve and extend their homes without the need to apply for planning permission. Permitted Development is a permission granted not by the Local Authority but by Parliament (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 for which a Certificate for a Lawful Proposed Use or Development can be obtained.

PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT is not always black and white and if there any questions or doubt we strongly suggest checking with the Local Authority Planning Department. For proof that your building work proposal complies with Permitted Development we recommend applying for a Lawful Development Certificate.

Properties located within the Green Belt may have restricted development opportunities to ensure open space is maintained and urban sprawl is restricted. However, in some cases, Permitted Development may allow further development.

If your project does not qualify as permitted development you will need to submit a planning application.

• Your property is a Listed Building and your proposal affects this or is to be built within its grounds. Careful consideration will need to be given to the design and location of the proposal and the aim should be to minimise alterations to the historic fabric of the property. Outbuildings within the curtilage of a Listed Building or extensions to Listed Buildings will generally require Listed Building Consent and Planning Permission, however outbuildings may only require planning permission if fully detached from the Listed Building.
• Your project lies on designated land and the new building is to the side or front of the house. Properties within designated land including National Parks and The Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Conservation Areas and World Heritage Sites have to adhere to stricter policies.
• Your intended development is closer than the nearest part of the original house to the highway. (The term original house means the house as it was first built or as it stood on 1 July 1948)
• Your proposed ridge height will be higher than four metres.
• Your project lies within an area where planning permission is required for an agricultural building.
