Householders
Owners and residents of domestic property
If you are considering extending or altering your property in any way, you first need to check with your local authority whether you need to make applications for Building Regulations or planning permission consents.
Remember that complying with Building Regulations is a separate matter from obtaining planning permission.
Some types of buildings and building work are exempt, but you should check first.
If you have any doubts, check with your local authority before starting building work.
You can find the local authority for the property you want to work on by using the "Find Your Local Authority" search facility on the right of this page.
