There are certain types of development and minor changes that
you can make to your property without the need to apply for formal
planning permission. These rights are called “permitted development
rights” under The Town & Country Planning (General Permitted
Development) (Amendment) Order 2008.
If you propose to make alterations or additions to your
dwelling (includes solar panels) and wish to know if planning
permission and/or Building Regulations is required, please complete
the form for Domestic Dwellings. If you are
proposing to install satellite dishes and/or other antennas, please
complete the Satellite
Dishes and Antennas. The Council will then be able to
provide a without prejudice opinion as to whether a proposal
constitutes ‘permitted development’. This can be
particularly important if you are selling a property on which you
have carried out work and need to demonstrate that you have the
necessary permissions.
N.B. If you require more detailed
pre-application planning advice in relation to a development
proposal, please visit our Pre-Application Advice Service pages.
The current charge (from 1st November) is
£48 (inc VAT). This can be paid by cheque (made payable
to Bassetlaw District Council) or you can contact Planning Services
on 01909 534430, 533264 or 533220 and pay by debit or credit
card. Please note that your form will not be processed by
Planning Services until the correct information and fee has
been received.
What service we will
provide:
- We will respond in writing within 10
working days, unless we need to contact you for further information
(this includes Planning and Building Control replies);
- We will confirm whether you need to make an
application for planning permission and/or building regulations
and, if so, why;
- If you do need permission, we will provide
details of what would be required as part of the planning
application and how to apply.
What happens next?
- If you need permission, you will need to
apply;
- If you do not need permission then you can
carry on with the works, providing that you comply with all other
relevant legislation.
You may also wish to look at the national
Planning Portal website, which provides planning advice through an

Guide and Interactive Terrace
House Guide. The Department for Communities and Local
Government provides guidance for householders on
building work, replacements and repairs to your home.
