The new permitted development rights: what do they mean for you?
The government has introduced new PD rights allowing developers to extend building upwards, and demolish vacant buildings, to provide for new housing without submitting a planning application. Homeowners have also been given a right to create new living space above their properties. In this webinar, in partnership with Stantec, we explore the important issues surrounding this.
The government has introduced new PD rights allowing developers to extend building upwards, and demolish vacant buildings, to provide for new housing without submitting a planning application. Homeowners have also been given a right to create new living space above their properties.
In this webinar, the first of a two-part series, we explore:
- what the new permitted development rights permit
- how an application to make use of the new rights should proceed
- how much appetite to make use of the rights there is likely to be
- how planning authorities can help to maximise the quality of the development created under the new rules
