This refers to an instance where you can extend your home without planning permission, reducing a lot of stress whilst saving time and money. Permitted development won’t cover every renovation – there are rules regarding area, type of property in question, etc. – so make sure you’re fully appraised of what you can and can’t do.
Don’t start any project without doing research beforehand and checking with experienced domestic and commercial building contractors like ourselves at Topspec Joinery & Construction. Subject to the size of the home renovations in question, you should find the following will be allowed without issue:
*Single-storey side extensions can be increased to half the width of your Harrogate property’s original size and no further than 4m past the rear elevation. Double-storey rear home extensions must remain within 3m of the rear elevation only.
Permitted development does not apply to listed buildings or properties situated in areas of natural beauty, conservation areas or near national parks and world heritage sites. Homeowners who live in the Norfolk or Suffolk Broads are also restricted. You will definitely need to consult with your local authority and local contractors if your home falls into any of these categories.
The rules change regularly, so keep up-to-date with your local authority or talk to our building contractors at Topspec Joinery & Construction. Also, bear in mind that the guidelines will differ across the UK, so if you have a second home or property elsewhere, you may find yourself with alternative rules to follow.
Our domestic and commercial building contractors strongly advise applying for this documentation as it indicates clearly that your home renovations, house extensions or loft conversions have been constructed within the allowed permitted development and are fully compliant with current guidelines.
An LDC is beneficial for instances where you decide to sell your Harrogate property or re-mortgage, as any potential questions or issues can be quickly addressed.
Our building contractors can’t emphasise enough, however, the importance of seeking advice from an experienced and knowledgeable building company or your local authorities. Taking the time to do so now could save you a lot of effort, money and stress down the line.
Don’t hesitate to contact your experienced and knowledgeable local contractors today regarding all types of loft remodels, dormer conversions, extensions, house renovations and more.
Call us now on 01274 200 600 to enquire about house extensions and loft conversions in Harrogate.
