This part of the Web
Site gives general guidance about the kinds of work for which you need to
apply for planning permission and those for which you do not.
If you
have any queries about a particular proposal, the first thing to do is to
contact the Planning Service. Contact details for Divisional Planning
Offices can be obtained from the
Contact
Us page on this Website.

Please Note: It
is your responsibility for seeking, or not seeking,
planning permission. If required, planning permission should
be granted before any work begins. |

General Advice
If you are in any doubt about whether you need to
apply for planning permission, you should consult the Planning Service
immediately. We will advise you as best we can but, if you want to obtain a formal ruling
you (or your adviser) can apply, on payment of a fee, for a certificates of Lawful Use or Development, as to
whether a particular proposal constitutes development and if it requires
permission. You do this by completing the appropriate form with details of
the work you want to carry out and sending it to the Planning Service. Application
forms for Certificates of Lawful Use or Development can be downloaded from this
Website by clicking here.

Please Note: If you build
something which needs planning permission without
first having obtained permission, you may be forced to put
things right later, which could prove troublesome and
costly. You might even have to demolish an unauthorised
building.
