Permitted Development

Are you aware that you can do a single-storey extension, double-storey extension, and even a loft conversion without obtaining formal planning approval?

To determine if your project will require drawings for Planning Permission, you can check the UK Government’s guide.

The permitted development rights vary by borough or city, so rules and regulations vary too, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We are happy to help where we can, or alternatively, you can check the UK Government’s guide HERE if you have a question.

Whether it’s a garden room, loft conversion, or a house extension plan, we are experts in the production of fast PDR packages (permitted development rights). Having our cost-effective building regulations plans approved means you’ll have more money to spend on decorating or upgrading the kitchen!

Depending on the area of your property, you may not need any permissions. Still, in most cases, you will need building approval, and we always advise you to apply for a lawful development certificate.

A Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) is a legal document stating the lawfulness of past, present or future building use, operations, or other matters. If granted by the Local Planning Authority (LPA), the certificate signifies that enforcement action cannot be carried out against the development referred to in the certificate.

In most cases, as soon as you receive your plans, you may start as long as a building notice has been submitted.

In most instances, you need building control drawings for PDR. These are at times, a simplified version of a building control application.
