Are you planning some building work - do you need Building
Regulations Approval?
If you are planning to carry out some building work this must
comply with the Building Regulations. Find out more about
Building Regulations and how to
apply
Do you need Planning Permission?
The rules around making a planning application can be
complicated and rely on measurements and the history of the
property. Not every development needs planning permission as
the government allows minor “permitted” development.
General advice on the need for planning permission can be found
on the Planning Portal
website or see our Planning section
