Permitted Development

Definition

Building work or changes of use that can be carried out without needing a full planning application, within defined limits. Examples include certain extensions, loft conversions, and outbuildings. Rights vary by property type and location — flats, listed buildings, and conservation areas have restricted or no permitted development rights.
