    Planning permission is required for most external building works and changes of use on private land. Exceptions to this would be where the works are permitted development.

    To find out more about permitted development you can do a number of things, you can:

    • Have a look at the Statutory Instrument Statutory Instrument 596 and Statutory Instrument 332.
      make sure you look at all the subsequent amendments to this legislation.
    • Have a look at the Planning Portal website which explains permitted development rights using 'Interactive house'.
    • Have a look at our 'Do I need planning permission' page
