Permitted Development Rights & Lawful Development Certificates in Leeds, Yorkshire.


Loft conversions and house extensions are good residential examples of potential permitted development projects, commercial examples include office conversions and warehouse extensions. Regardless of the nature of the project, commercial or residential it is advisable to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) from the local planning authority to ensure permitted development compliance.

This may prove beneficial when selling the property as an LDC can help to answer any queries from potential buyers. As well as obtaining an LDC it is important to apply for Building Regulations Approval as well as ensuring relevant Party Wall Notices are served.
