Does my neighbour need planning permission to change the windows or add new windows or roof lights in their house?
In many cases, you do not need to apply for planning permission to replace the windows in a residential property, or to add new windows or install roof lights at the property, even if the property falls within a Conservation Area. If a property is listed however, listed building consent would be required. In some cases, Permitted Development Rights, which allow people to insert new windows/roof lights, may have been removed, in which case you would need to apply for planning permission. It is always advisable to check with the Planning Department before you carry out such work.
