Find out if you need planning permission

You might not need full planning permission for your project because some types of projects have permitted development rights.

Use this free service to see if your project needs planning permission. We'll also tell you if your property has any planning constraints that might limit what you can do (for example, it might be a listed building or in a conservation area).

About the service

The results are based on the answers you give and are for guidance only. It's not an official planning decision.

This service does not keep any of your personal data.
