Prior Approval and Notification Applications

Whilst permitted development rights were intended to simplify the planning process to allow for development without the need for planning permission, a firm understanding of the requirements is essential in order to ensure development is compliant. The General Permitted Development Order has undergone a number of revisions since its inception in 2015 and covers a range of development opportunities, ranging from householder extensions to office to residential conversion, each with their own specific conditions.

P&DG have an in-depth knowledge of permitted development rights and a proven history of interpreting the General Permitted Development Order and submitting prior approval and notification to local authorities.
