Admin Planning Permission For New Build Houses
Planning authorities usually define development as something along the lines of “the carrying out of work on, in or under land” or alternatively “making any material change to the use of building or structures already present on the land”.
Unless the new development is specifically exempt from planning permission requirements, the developer must formally apply for planning permission from the local planning authority to proceed with their development proposals.
Planning permission is required for a large variety of changes of use of the land, ranging from the obvious, e.g. building a house on a new site, through less common change of uses, such as the replacement of broad leaf high forest by conifer species or the use of uncultivated land for intensive agricultural purposes or peat extraction.
