Every type of planning application that could affect your property or neighbourhood

Rear extensions, loft conversions, side returns, conservatories. The most common applications that change the look of streets.
New Builds
New residential dwellings, housing developments, infill sites. From single houses to major estates.
Change of Use
Shops becoming flats, offices turning residential, pubs converting to housing. Changes that transform neighbourhoods.
Demolitions
Prior notification demolitions, partial demolitions, clearance of sites. Often the precursor to major development.
Listed Buildings
Listed Building Consent applications, conservation area works. Extra protections that affect what neighbours can build.
