This depends on the type of development; there are restrictions based on the type of house, the size as well as volume of development, and if it is within a Conservation Area. Planning Portal for additional information If you want to be certain that your proposal does not require planning permission you can apply for a certificate called a “Lawful Development Certificate” (LDC). It is not compulsory to have an LDC but there may be times when you need one to confirm that the use, operation or activity named in it, is lawful for planning control purposes.
