Permitted Development
Changes to Permitted Development from October 1st 2008
All works which are development require planning permission. However, some development is permitted without the requirement to submit a formal planning application because it is granted automatically by Article 3 of the General Permitted Development Order 1995 (as Amended).
These works are described in Schedule 2 of the General Permitted Development Order, this is otherwise known as "Permitted Development" (PD).
The rules of what is 'Permitted Development' changed with effect from the 1st October 2008.
A visual guide about the new 'Permitted Development' rules for householders can be found on the Planning Portal. (External Link)
The information will be updated when it becomes available from the Planning Portal.
