The results are based on the answers you give and are for guidance only. It's not an official planning decision. PlanX does not keep any of your personal data.
Planning permission may be required for a wide variety of developments, including new building works or changes in the use of land or buildings.
Permitted development rights allow homeowners to make certain changes to their property without needing full planning permission, subject to specific rules and limitations.
You can use this service to check if:
- changes you want to make to a property in the future may require planning permission
- your property has any planning restrictions (for example, if it's a listed building or in a conservation area)
To use this service, you will need:
- site address
- details about the changes you want to make
What is not included in this service:
- it does not take account of planning conditions on a previous permission that may restrict a project
- large scale transport facilities, like railways or airports
- some mixed uses
- information about Advertisement Consent
Check if you need planning permission by completing our online form on PlanX.
If you require a formal decision as to whether changes of use or building works, proposed or existing, are lawful you should apply for a Certificate of Lawful Development. This will require you to submit drawings of your proposal and pay a fee.
For further advice you can use our pre-application application service, or speak to one of our planning officers.
