Check if you need permission or approval for home improvements

If we turn down your planning application, you can:

• appeal the decision on GOV.UK
• reapply for planning permission on the Planning Portal

If we turn down your planning application, you can apply again for free.

But this must be within 12 months of your first application.

When you re-apply, you must:

• take into account the reasons we turned down your proposal
• show how you've used the advice we gave you

You will need building regulations approval for any extension or conversion, whether planning permission is required or not.
