How can I get a copy of 'Planning: a guide to householders'?

This former booklet by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is no longer available and has been replaced by the visual guidance on household projects available in our interactive house guide¹ and 'Do you need permission?²' section.

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) does provide technical guidance on the permitted development rules for householders:

View 'Permitted development for householders – Technical guidance' on Gov.uk³

If you are looking for advice on one of the following projects, you may also find the interactive mini-guides⁴ we have created useful:

• Loft conversions guide⁵
• Extensions guide (single storey)⁶
• Extensions guide (two storey)⁷
• Conservatories guide⁸
• Outbuildings guide⁹
• Porches guide¹⁰
