Do I Need Planning Permission?

break

Anyone who wishes to carry out work on buildings or land may be required to, firstly, obtain planning permission. Planning permission is necessary for a wide range of development, including relatively minor alterations that may affect the appearance or use of buildings.

The Planning Portal's General Public section gives general advice about the kinds of work for which you need to apply for planning permission and those for which you do not.

The planning portal provides a number of toolkits which may assist you. Please note however these are only intended to be a guide and may not fully reflect Newham's local requirements pdf.

You will need to have the Adobe Reader software installed to view this document. This can be downloaded for free from the Adobe website.

In addition, the Interactive house guide for a terraced or semi-detached house provides visual guidance and information about how planning permission might apply to various types of householder projects.
