Permitted Development Rights define what you can do to an existing property without planning permission so can save you the trouble of a Planning Application. However, it is important to check that earlier changes to your property have not exhausted your Permitted Development Rights, and that it is not affected by an Article 4 Direction. We can help you to discover what rights are available for you.
How Can You Check Your Rights?
To ensure that you do not fall foul of the law, even when your proposals do not require planning permission, we recommend that you obtain a Certificate of Lawful Development. Permitted development rights are a regularly misunderstood area, even by professionals and Councils: the new GPDO of 1 October 2008 has triggered further controversy. Our specialist planning law advice can save you unnecessary stress, cost and inconvenience.
