Will permitted development rules change?

Planning legislation can change over time, so it is important to check current regulations.

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

Outbuildings may be permitted development if they meet height, location, and usage restrictions.

Do I need drawings for a Lawful Development Certificate?
