 ebuild.co.uk: Planning Permission UK
Planning Permission consists of national regulations (ie England and Wales have one set of regulations, Scotland another) but are administered by local authorities or in the national parks by the Park Authorities.
However unlike building regulations, the application of planning permission differs significantly from area to area due to differing local development plans, local interpretation of the regulations and the significant degree of subjectivity involved in the process.
Therefore while National planning guidance will give you an indication of whether you need planning permission or not and which minor works you can carry out without permission, it is essential that you contact your local planning authority as early in the process as possible to obtain local guidance and advice.
