Do decks need Planning Permission?
For all but the simplest, low-level garden deck, property owners should satisfy themselves that planning regulations do not apply to their proposed structure. In addition to contacting the Local Authority, we recommend that you talk to your neighbours about your plans. Neighbour objections are the most usual reason for planning refusal or enforcement notices after completion. Your Local Authorities can insist that structures are dismantled and removed where consent should have been obtained.
