  1. This in not an official planning application or determination form. It has been designed to help people who want to know if they are likely to need planning permission to carry out improvements to their home. This form is most useful for dwellings built since 1947 whereby permitted development restrictions may apply to properties. Guidance is available on the planning portal at www.planningportal.gov.uk. We aim to reply within 15 working days of receipt. This will constitute an informal response, as a definitive response can only be obtained through the submission of a Certificate of Proposed Lawful Development.

    What not to expect
