listed building consent. Planning permission may also be
needed if your property lies within a Conservation Area.
To determine if your proposal needs planning pemission you
can:
- Apply for a lawful development
certificate (Proposed) - will confirm whether or not
your proposal requires planning permission. If you do need
planning permission, you will be invited to submit a householder
application including any additional fee and documents needed to
determine the application.
- Apply for lawful development
certificate (Existing) - if you have extended your
property without planning permission but would like formal
