Permitted Development

The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 allows for some development to be carried out without the need for express planning consent. We can provide initial advice on whether this legislation would apply to your development project and assist in securing the necessary authorisation under the legislation.

Storage Permitted Development

The right only applies to buildings that were last used or were in use as storage or distribution (B8) on or before 19 March 2014. This is the case even if there was a previous change of use prior to 19 March 2014 under other sections of the legislation, as long as the B8 use has been in place for at least 4 years.

Agricultural Buildings Permitted Development

The prior approval procedure requires the Local Authority to be satisfied on the following matters: siting; design; transport; noise; air quality; contamination and flood risk.

Residential Permitted Development

The regime allows for a certain amount of development to take place without the need for express planning permission. There is still a requirement to secure authorisation from the Council but this is a more streamlined process.
