| Planning For home improvement projects there are two main types of planning applications. Certificate of Lawfulness - for small rear or side extensions and certain loft conversions a full application may not be required. This certificate is very useful if you eventually decide to sell the house as it confirms that full permission was not required at the time. Full Planning - for all other extensions and lofts and for schemes in conservation areas or works to listed buildings. >> Household Planning Book (PDF) >> Planning Portal Website (Link) >> Interactive Planning Guide (Link) |
Building Regulations Full Plans - This is where an application with detailed drawings is submitted and approved before building works start. When construction starts a building control office will insect the works at various stages to ensure full compliance with the regulations. Building Notice - Building works can start without drawings. Really only suitable for small simple projects. >> Building Regulation Guide (PDF) |
Party Wall Act If your proposed work is located near to a neighbouring building or your construction work affects a shared wall then you will be required by law to comply with the Party Wall Act. The first stage is to notify your neighbours that you intend to carry out building works. At some stage the services of a Party Wall surveyor may be required. >> Party Wall Act Guide (PDF) |
