Do I Need Planning Permission.co.uk
Making the most of your Home

Hello,I own a detatched house and have had an architect do the drawings to extend the with of our galley kitchen by 3m. I am now looking progress forward with things and would like a little bit of advise as everyone I have spoken to so far just wants money. We have a galley kitchen single storey that is 8m long and are looking to take the wall down and extent out under 3m and then put on a flat roof as opposed to a pitched roof which is on there now. Now I am trying to find out if this is classed as permitted development and if so should I apply before I start work? I know how stupid this sounds but the architect told me to say the groundworks have started and this will speed up the application. Or would I need planning permission? I have read on .Gov that upto 8m on a detatched house is classed as permitted development?Any help or advise will be truly helpful and much appreciated.Leon
