Is building an extension/garage/conservatory etc without planning permission a criminal offence?
It is not a criminal offence to carry out development at most properties without obtaining planning permission first. If a building is listed however, it is a criminal offence to carry out works that extend, alter, demolish etc any part of the building. If an enforcement notice is served requiring the removal of an unauthorised development, it is a criminal offence to fail to comply with the requirements of the notice in the time given.
