don’t run out of time

If you need to get planning permission for your extension, then build this into your schedule. Most decisions are made within eight weeks, but don’t rely on a positive outcome because cancelling contractors at the last minute could have cost implications. If you’re applying for an LDC before building under PD, it’s important that your application contains sufficient information for the council to make a decision. Get in touch with local planning officers to find out what they need to see.
