FAQs on Building Alterations

Do alterations require planning permission?

Certain building alteration works may be considered ‘permitted development’ that don’t require planning permission, while some may need it. You can consult the local planning authority to determine whether a particular development is permitted or not. Some examples of permitted development include specific enlargements or alterations to houses, construction of certain sheds and fuel storage containers, and installation of certain porches, doors, and windows.

Why do I need building alterations?

At some point during a building’s in-use period, alterations may be necessary. These changes can be required for a variety of reasons such as unforeseeable factors at the design stage, changing technological possibilities, or simply wear and tear. You may have an emotional connection with your home and prefer to go down the alterations route as moving house is not an option, or financially it could be cheaper to preform alternations than selling and buying a property.

What do typical alternations work look like?

Alterations can take many forms, including extensions, partial demolition, linking or separating spaces, and retrofitting new components or features. Some common examples of alterations include refurbishing or renovating existing components or features, repairing building components, and maintenance.
