Planning a home extension, conversion, or a new development?

Understanding which type of planning permission you need is one of the most important first steps, and getting it wrong can lead to delays, added costs, or refused applications.

We’ve created a clear, practical guide explaining the different routes available.

At The Planning Consultancy, we support clients through the entire process. From early feasibility and planning strategy to preparing and managing applications.

We combine planning knowledge with strong design and high-quality CGIs to help bring projects to life and give applications the best chance of approval.

Have a look at our guide and feel free to get in touch if you’d like to discuss your own project.

🏡 Did You Know?
Changing a building's use (say, from agricultural to residential) often requires planning permission—but in some cases, it can be done under Class Q permitted development rights.

We’ve helped landowners and homeowners unlock potential through careful land appraisal and planning strategy.

Thinking of converting a barn, workshop or unit? Let's talk options.

🌱 Is your home ready for the future?
The UK is moving towards a National Retrofit Programme, aiming to make homes greener, healthier, and more resilient to climate change.

Retrofit isn’t just about insulation, it’s about:
✅ Lower energy bills
✅ Better comfort all year round
✅ Reducing carbon footprint
✅ Future-proofing your property value

At The Planning Consultancy, we design with sustainability in mind, whether it’s extensions, conversions, or restorations. By planning ahead now, you’ll be ready for the next wave of green building standards.

Thinking about improving your home? Let’s talk about how sustainable design can fit into your plans.

📄 What is a Certificate of Lawful Permitted Development?
We’ve just submitted a Certificate of Lawful Permitted Development (CLPD) for a proposed home extension ✅

An CLPD isn’t planning permission—but it confirms that your project is legal under Permitted Development rules.
It gives homeowners peace of mind and is especially useful when selling or remortgaging your property later on.

If you’re planning a loft conversion, rear extension, or outbuilding, we can help check what’s allowed—and make sure it’s properly documented.

✔️ Know before you build.
