Planning application

If your project does not qualify as permitted development your remaining option is to apply for planning permission. Bear in mind that while a proposal may not meet permitted development criteria that does not mean it cannot be carried out. An application for planning permission allows the local planning authority to assess your proposal against a range of criteria and decide whether or not to approve it. You will have to pay a fee.
