Do I need planning permission?

Visit the Planning Portal

If you live in a single family dwelling house (not a flat or maisonette), find out if you need planning permission for a variety of developments, from porches and drives to satellite dishes and garages online via the Planning Portal.

If you do live in a flat or maisonette it is likely that you will require planning permission for most extensions and/or alterations.

Specific topics include:

• Outbuildings
• Conservatories
• Loft conversion
• Extensions
• Patios and driveways
• Porches
• Garage conversion
• Windows
• Wind turbine
