In these areas planning permission is required for even quite small changes to properties. In addition to the major changes that normally require planning permission (for example extending your house) the following minor alterations to the facades of houses which face highways or public footpaths now require an application for planning permission:
- replacing windows and doors;
- altering roofs (including roof coverings and chimneys);
- building a porch;
- adding or removing cladding (such as timber or stone) from the walls of houses;
- laying or replacing driveways or paths;
- installing satellite dishes;
- erecting, altering or removing boundary gates, fences, or walls;
- painting, rendering or pebble dashing the walls of a building (excluding the painting of joinery).
Please note, this list is only a summary of the alterations that need planning permission.
Other buildings such as flats, shops or offices have fairly strict planning rules. In general, planning permission is needed for minor changes to buildings in all conservation areas. Check with the Design and Conservation Section at the council. Detailed advice on the type of work requiring planning permission can be obtained from the address below.
