Planning permission rules are controlled by the government, but your local authority decides whether your building work can go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>There are certain types of building work that will require planning permission, and it&#8217;s your responsibility to get the permission from your local authority before the work begins. <\/p>\n<p>Find out everything you need to know about planning permission so your building project runs smoothly from start to finish.<\/p>\n<h2>How long does it take to get planning permission?<\/h2>\n<p>All being well, a normal planning application for a loft conversion or an extension should take 8 weeks.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nLocal authorities have to make a decision on an application by this time unless it is a complex application. In this case, the limit rises to 13 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things you should do to prepare for your planning application:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hire a surveyor and get drawings of your property prepared along with your proposal for the work<\/li>\n<li>Support your application with a Design Access Statement which outlines the considerations you have made about the layout, volume, materials and impact of your proposal in line with the rules set by your local authority<\/li>\n<li>Allow 4-10 weeks to make decisions as you will need to be certain about them. You should expect the time from the design work to the final decision on your planning application to be at least 5 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_237\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237\" style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/plans-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"planning permission drawings\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-237 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/plans-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/plans-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/plans.jpg 564w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/300;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pinterest.com\/pin\/473089135838200065\/\">Image via Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What factors will have an effect on my application?<\/h2>\n<li><strong>Design:<\/strong> The quality of the design and whether it is similar to the other properties around yours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Impact:<\/strong> The impact of the size and layout of your proposal on your neighbours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Neighbours:<\/strong> If they raise any objections this will affect your proposal<\/li>\n<p>\nPlanners will consider the impact your proposal will have on people in the future, whether they are future owners or people living in the area. Unfortunately, even if your neighbours are happy with the plans this isn&#8217;t enough to get your application approved.<\/p>\n<h2>Special considerations<\/h2>\n<p>If you live in a Conservation Area or you live in a listed building, you will have more conditions set out by your local authority and other associations like English Heritage. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s best to check with your local authority if you&#8217;re unsure of the rules with your property. <\/p>\n<h2>Things to remember about planning permission<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Planning departments are understaffed<\/strong><br \/>\nYou&#8217;re not likely to get much pre-planning advice as most local planning departments are too busy.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a national shortage of qualified planners, so if your planning officer leaves halfway through your application process this can cause problems. Remember, though, local authorities must make a decision in 8 weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning rules are subjective<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough there are rules, they can be interpreted differently. If a planner doesn&#8217;t agree with your proposal, it will be refused even if you think you have followed all of the guidelines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An application can be emotional<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a great idea to keep your neighbours informed in person rather than just letting them hear about your building work from the council. <\/p>\n<p>Most people are more worried about the noise from builders than what your proposal is going to look like.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is it important to get planning permission?<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re taking out loans to help pay for your project, it&#8217;s standard practice for lenders to ask for evidence of planning permission before giving you access to the full funds.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you want to sell your property in the future, you will have to prove that you have followed all the planning laws. If your local authority finds out that you have had work done without getting planning permission they will often ask that you take down the work.<\/p>\n<p>There are some minor developments that might be covered by <strong>Permitted Development<\/strong>, such as conservatories. If your work falls within these guidelines then you won&#8217;t need to get planning permission, so it&#8217;s always worth checking before you make an application.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The planning system in the UK is designed to allow for the improvement of the towns, cities and countryside while preserving our heritage.
