Do I need Planning Permission?
| On the 1st October 2008 new legislation came into force.
This changed the circumstances under which planning permission may not be required for certain types of development. We have developed a set of self assessment forms for you to assess whether you require planning permission for your development. |
 |
Please follow this link to further information on Extending Your Home before completing the forms.
If you live in The Green Mountsorrel then please note that there are restrictions on carrying out external work that is usually permitted development. Article 4 Direction and Plan.
Note: The "Word" versions can be completed on screen then printed or returned electronically to development.control@charnwood.gov.uk to enable us to record the self assessment details. The hyperlinks to relevant information only work in the PDF version and not in "Word Forms", we apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.
