Find out if you need planning permissionThe following are common examples of when you will need to apply for planning permission:
You do not always need planning permission. It is not required, generally speaking, for changes to the inside of buildings, or for small alterations to the outside such as the installation of telephone connections and alarm boxes. Other small changes, for example putting up walls and fences below a certain height, have a general planning permission for which a specific application is not required. Elsewhere in this service there is further advice on when you will need to apply for planning permission. If this does not cover what you wish to do, you should discuss your proposals with the planning department of your council. Enforcement If you go ahead with your development without the required permission, the local council that is the planning authority for your area may ask you to make a retrospective planning application. If it decides that permission should not be granted it may require you to put things back as they were. You can appeal but if the verdict comes out against you and you still refuse to comply you may be prosecuted.
