If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

How much does a planning application cost?

Fees vary depending on project type and local authority charges.

What is prior approval neighbour consultation?

For larger extensions, councils notify neighbours and assess specific impacts before granting prior approval.
