Permitted development rights let you carry out certain works without a full planning application, within strict limits. Whether your project qualifies depends on its size, position and your property. We help you understand the likely position and, where it's sensible, prepare drawings for a Lawful Development Certificate so you have formal confirmation.
What we do
We help you understand whether your project is likely to fall within the limits.
Size, height, position and materials all matter — and the rules differ for the side, rear and front.
Flats, maisonettes, listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas often have reduced or no rights.
Where useful, formal confirmation that your works are permitted development.
Permitted development isn't a single yes/no — it's a set of detailed limits, and 'I think it's permitted development' isn't proof. A Lawful Development Certificate is a formal council decision confirming the works are lawful.
That certainty is valuable when you sell or remortgage, and it protects you if the interpretation is ever questioned. We prepare the drawings a certificate application needs.
