Planning Permission and Building Regulations for Householders

There has been a significant number of changes to planning with effect from 01 October 2008.

There is an excellent visual guide which outlines the new rules on common household projects and that can be accessed on the planning portal website.

One area of significant change is that you now need to apply for planning to pave over your front garden.
