Permitted Development or Planning Permission in 2023?
Permitted development and planning permission are both important considerations when it comes to making changes to your property, but there are several reasons why permitted development is often considered the better option.
First and foremost, permitted development offers a more streamlined and simplified process for making changes to your property. Instead of having to navigate the complex and time-consuming planning application process, you can simply check to see if your proposed changes fall within the guidelines of permitted development and, if so, proceed with your project. This can save a significant amount of time and money, and can be especially beneficial for those who are looking to make relatively simple changes, such as a small extension or a loft conversion.
Another advantage of permitted development is that it allows for more flexibility in the design of your project. For example, you may be able to build a larger extension than you would be able to under traditional planning regulations, or you may be able to use different design elements that would not be permitted under normal planning rules. This can be especially beneficial for those who are looking to create a unique and distinctive design that stands out from the surrounding properties.
Permitted development also eliminates the need for public consultation and advertising, which is mandatory with planning permission. This can be a huge advantage, as it eliminates the potential for objections and delays to the project, which can add months to the process.
Finally, permitted development is also a great option for those who are looking to add value to their property. A well-designed and well-built extension can not only provide additional living space and improve the overall functionality of your home, but also increase its value and marketability.
In conclusion, permitted development is often considered the better option than planning permission as it offers a more streamlined, flexible and faster process for making changes to your property. Additionally, it eliminates the need for public consultation and advertising, and can add value to your property. However, it is important to keep in mind that permitted development has its own set of regulations and guidelines and it is always important to check with the local authorities and consult with an architect before proceeding with any project.
