You may need planning permission if you want to:

• build something new
• make a major change to an existing building, for example an extension
• change the use of a building  

There are many kinds of alterations and additions to houses that do not need planning permission - this is called a permitted development. You can use the interactive house on the Planning Portal website to see if this applies to you.

If you are still unsure you can use this permitted development enquiry form to contact us.

The fee for this enquiry is £39.63
