How do I know if I require planning permission?
Put simply, if your development plans alter the main shell of your house or affect the structural integrity, then some level of permission or notification will be required.
We will work with you to determine if you proposed development falls within the ‘permitted development’ criteria. If not, we will apply for planning permission on your behalf.
