Will I need planning permission?

Architecture & Interior Design Projects

Many proposed alterations or additions to properties would require planning permission which would be subject to the local planning policy. Given the number of projects we have undertaken over the years, HollandGreen has built up extensive knowledge and experience across all the councils in these areas.

There are more demanding rules for development in Conservation Areas, National Landscapes (formerly known as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and especially for Listed Buildings. Each application is judged on its merit and context.

There are national and local validation requirements. Required documentation can vary depending on the proposals as well as being subject to requirements of the local planning authority, which can vary.

Landscape Design Projects

Our team works alongside consultants and our Planning Manager who can guide you through whether planning would be required. Whilst many elements of garden design can be achieved under Permitted Development Rights, there are often site-specific constraints that mean planning permission would be required.
