What are Permitted Development Rights?
Permitted Development Rights are attached to most houses in the UK and allow for a number of changes to be made to your property without the need to apply for a formal planning application or consult with neighbours or surrounding properties. The Permitted Development Rights attached to a property will best reveal a property’s true potential because the additional spaces they allow are not reliant on local planning decisions, and as such are finite and objective. These spaces, which include loft conversions, extensions, the conversion of garages and the formation of outbuildings can add significant value to a house and therefore require your attention when making intelligent property decisions.
