Planning Permission

Formal approval from your local planning authority (LPA) to build, extend, or change a building. Required when the project exceeds permitted development rights, falls within a restricted area, or changes the use of a building. Applications are assessed against local development plans, national planning policy, and neighbour impact. A decision is typically made within 8 weeks of validation.
