Your Guide To Planning Permission

Your Guide To Planning Permission

If you express an interest in purchasing a conservatory from Hazlemere, a design appointment will be set up, with the topic of planning permission covered during the discussion.

All our design experts are up to speed with current planning permission rules and will pass on their knowledge of them so that you’re left as informed as they are.

A failure to comply with planning laws can lead to disastrous consequences! It could complicate a future house sale and see you ordered by your local authority to alter or demolish the structure at huge expense.

Partner with Hazlemere and that won’t happen as you can trust our design and build team to handle all aspects of the planning phase and do so to the letter.

Will I need planning permission for a conservatory?

Not if the proposed conservatory design sticks within the limits and conditions to be bracketed as a Permitted Development.

You are automatically authorised to proceed with extending your home without needing to submit a full planning application when you have Permitted Development Rights.

We have created a dedicated page here to outline the full list of limits and conditions.

How does the planning process work?

Submissions for planning permission can be made via post, email or online through the Planning Portal website, the home of planning and building regulations information in England.

How much the planning application costs varies depending on where you live in the country. Planning Portal’s fee calculator will advise of the relevant charge.

How long does planning permission take?

Once the application is received and then authenticated, it goes to a public consultation phase of three to eight weeks, giving any affected neighbours a chance to raise any comments and concerns about the proposed development.

Unless it’s a complex scheme, you should be notified of the application’s approval or refusal soon after that eight-week period.

Encouragingly for you, around 86% of planning applications are approved, and it’s so hassle-free having a company with such a comprehensive understanding of planning laws organising it for you.

Our Helpful Guide to Planning Permission has lots more useful information about this unignorable subject.
