Permitted Development

Permitted development (PD) rights allow homeowners to carry out certain types of building work - including many single-storey rear extensions - without needing to apply for full planning permission. The rights are granted by the government through the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, subject to size, height, and boundary limits. Properties in conservation areas, listed buildings, or flats may have restricted PD rights.
