We take on home improvements across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Choose your county or region for towns, local guide prices and planning notes.
England
In England, planning applications go to your local council, and many smaller extensions, loft conversions and outdoor jobs are permitted development. Conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions remove some of those rights. Building Regulations approval comes from council building control or a registered building control approver, or through a competent person scheme for certain trades.

Wales
In Wales, councils decide planning applications under Welsh rules, and permitted development limits differ in places from England’s. Building Regulations in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and checked by building control.
Scotland
In Scotland, planning permission comes from the council under Scottish permitted development classes. Most building work needs a building warrant from the council’s building standards service before it starts, and a completion certificate at the end.
Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, councils decide planning applications, and building control approval is given under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). Road consents, such as a dropped kerb, come from DfI Roads.
