Default Council "insiders" and planning permission

Not strictly a DIY subject but a guess many on this board will have
come across planning issues??


Firstly, keep going to the council offices and look at the notice board
installed in the locked broom cupboard. Also, if your council has a decent
website, they often publish all applications on there.

As soon as you notice work that requires permission commence, immediately
contact the council if you haven't seen an application go in.

Unfortunately not all work requires planning permission.
A property has an inherent right to 'permitted development',
this may include, but not be limited to, a loft conversion, an
extension, a garage, etc. etc.
Although permitted development must adhere to the Building Regulations
and the BCO must have been notified of the intended work -and
will inspect the work at various stages - You will not have been
informed that it will be carried out.
