What the check gives you
- The route
- Whether your project is permitted development, needs prior approval, or needs a full planning application, decided by the rules for your property type.
- Your limits
- How far you can extend without applying, in metres: depth, height and eaves.
- Your odds
- The approval rate for your project type in your council, from 2,343,419 decided applications across 181 councils.
- Your constraints
- What is on your address: conservation area, Article 4 direction, listed building, flood risk, protected trees.
- The cost
- The £995 planning stage if you want the drawings, paid only when the council approves.
The check is guidance from the public record, not a council decision. Where the record is thin it says so rather than guessing.
