Understanding the difference between planning approval and authorised development is vital for any homeowner contemplating an addition or renovation. Planning clearance is necessary for more significant alterations to your house, such as big expansions or modifying the façade in a manner that impacts the surrounding neighbourhood.

The procedure requires submitting comprehensive plans to your local council for approval, which might take many weeks. On the other hand, it allowed development permits to undertake some modifications without the requirement for official planning clearance, provided they fulfil particular conditions.

These include constraints on the extension’s height, depth, and placement, ensuring the alterations don’t harm the neighbours or local environment.
