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.

But permitted development rights are quite limited to the front elevation
of
a property.

I'll _respectfully_ suggest that you don't know what
you're talking about. The 'front elevation' essentially can't
be changed without 'planning permission' - but - other things
being equal PD will permit one to add a large volume
to the rear of a house - that's _not_ "limited to the front elevation "
I would recommend that you familiarise with the legislation ...
many D_I_Y manuals have helpful isometrics of what's
permitted and not.
Unless you're not intending to mean what you've written.

Um, I don't mean to shove my oar in where it's not wanted but I read
Christian's post as saying that the type of work allowed to the front
elevation of a building under permitted development was "quite limited"
- that is, most changes to the front of a building *would* require
planning permisson - rather than permitted development *being limited
to* work on the front elevation, which is what I think you're saying.
So I think you're actually agreeing with each other....Pardon me if
I've got the wrong end of the stick, though!
