Do You Need Planning Permission?

Considering updating your home with a brand new kitchen or bathroom? You'll typically find that you don't need planning permission for these internal renovations.

However, there are two important scenarios where you must take planning requirements into account:

• If these internal changes are part of a larger construction project, such as building an extension onto your house, the entire development will likely require planning permission.

• Should your property be designated as a listed building, it's absolutely essential to get in touch with your local council's planning department. They can provide guidance on the specific permissions you'll need to make any alterations.
