How To Get Involved In Town Planning

How can I get involved in planning?

To decide whether you need planning permission will depend on what it is you want to do. So not every form of development requires planning permission. There are certain things, particularly small extensions to domestic housing, and there are also devices called permitted development rights; so that not everything is trapped by having to get planning permission and go through that statutory process. If you are promoting anything that is substantial, a development that might affect neighbors, might affect changes in traffic generation or those types of issues, then you are going to need to get planning permission.
