Permitted Development Rights and Advice
Permitted Development Rights Explained
Permitted development rights are a set of rules that allow you to make certain changes to your property without having to apply for full householder planning permission. This could potentially be a great way to save time and money on home improvements, but it’s important to understand the rules before you start work. In our professional opinion, it is most likely only going to cause you great difficulty as a homeowner. We at 7db always recommend not proceeding under PD rules – unless there is a specific legal reasoning.
To enable you as a homeowner and to protect your interests we do not charge separate fees for a permitted development rights direction or a full application – a householder application. We have a standard fee for an Architect and we inform you of your options and make a clear recommendation on how to proceed through the planning process.
