If you are planning on carrying out building work you may need planning permission.
Read our advice on major developments if you are planning a large development.
Please be aware that you may also need to apply for a Building Warrant.
If you are only making small alterations you may not need permission. Our helpdesk service is unable to provide a formal determination on whether work will need planning permission. This can be obtained by submitting an application for a certificate of lawfulness.
Our planning privacy notice sets out what happens to comments submitted as part of the planning process. For planning applications, your
will be published alongside your comment on the planning portal once a decision is made on the application.
The planning helpdesk is operating as an email service. You can contact us at
