Permitted development rights cover short-cut planning rules that let certain building works or changes of use go ahead without a full planning application. In England, these rights are set out mainly in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the General Permitted Development Order, as amended. A solicitor practising in this area helps clients assess whether a proposed change qualifies, prepares and submits prior approval or lawfulness-of- development requests, reviews planning conditions or prior approvals, and advises on potential objections or appeals if a local planning authority says no. The work often hinges on precise thresholds, time limits, and specific site characteristics that determine whether development can proceed without full planning permission.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A solicitor identifies which works or changes of use fall within permitted development, drafts and submits necessary notices or applications (such as prior approval or certificate of lawfulness), reviews planning constraints, coordinates with local authorities, and negotiates any required conditions. They advise on the implications for future development, potential impact on neighbouring rights, and avenues for appeal or amendment if plans are challenged.

Jeremy Hodson

Tagged solicitor Jeremy Hodson

Jeremy provided us with excellent legal services in a complex transaction purchasing a property in Berkshire. The previous owners had run a business from the property but had not applied for change of use back to completely residential when the business closed down. Together with planning applications that could not be proved by the owners, this led to a complex legal situation. Jeremy was very helpful and knowledgeable and very fast in his responses which was really appreciated. It all led thankfully to a successful completion.
