Some proposals involving residential property may require
you to submit a different type of application than
the general Householder Application for works or extension to a
dwelling. Such instances include:
- If your property is a listed building (you need to complete
householder application and an application for listed building
consent)
- If there is a change of use (working from home) and it is no
longer a main home (you must apply for full planning
permission).
- If you are interested in putting up a new home (you must apply
for full or outline planning permission).
Householder applications
These are applications dealing with house extensions, garages,
enlargements to gardens, erection of walls and fences to domestic
properties, or any other outbuildings within the boundary of your
own property.
Your completed application forms (3 copies) should be
accompanied by the relevant checklist. You should indicate on
the checklist the information you have provided and which
information you do not consider relevant to your application.
Please note, however, that any application which does not
provide all the required details may not be
validated.

Building regulations
You should also be aware that Building Regulations are often
needed for developments given Planning Permission. You should
consult with our Building Regulations Service to
determine whether a building regulations application is
required.
