Renovation work
Whether you’re revamping your own home or redeveloping a house or flat to sell on, it’s likely the work you do will be subject to planning permission and building regulations. You also need to consider any issues with party walls.
You are breaking the law if you do any work that doesn’t comply, or without first getting the relevant permission. Projects can be stopped and developers forced to tear down renovations or extensions at their own expense if modifications haven’t received permissions.
What Is Planning Permission?
People often confuse planning permission and building regulations. They are both statutory requirements if you plan to alter a property. Planning and building regulations are completely separate requirements.
Planning permission is all about the form and use of a building and how that use affects its environment – be that visually, in development terms or in social terms. If you are considering altering the external appearance of a property, or planning major internal alterations, you should start by contacting us we can then work with you and your local council’s planning department to find out if you need permission for the work.
