Do These Buildings Require Planning Permission?

Extensions: These normally do require planning permission although sometimes they can come under ‘permitted development’. Even if an extension is built under Permitted Development it will still need to comply with building regulations. You can view the regulations at http://www.planningportal.gov.uk.

Studios/ Offices: These are built with the intention that they will not require planning permission. If you are in a conservation area however you should be aware that different rules apply.
