Guaranteed Approvals through Permitted Development Rights
With deep expertise in permitted development rights, we help clients unlock development potential without the uncertainty of a full planning application. From single-storey extensions to loft conversions and outbuildings, we assess your project against the latest legislation and design a proposal that complies. Guaranteeing approval under the permitted development regime; we prepare and submit lawful development certificates or prior approvals where needed, giving you peace of mind and a solid foundation to proceed.
What are Permitted Development Rights?
Permitted development rights (PDRs) are a national grant of planning permission that allow certain types of work to be carried out without the need to submit a full planning application.
These rights are set out in legislation and apply to many common projects, such as:
✅ Home extensions and loft conversions
✅ Outbuildings like garden offices or sheds
✅ Changes of use for certain buildings
✅ Installation of solar panels or other energy-saving measures
However, PDRs come with strict limits and conditions. Factors such as the size of the extension, proximity to boundaries, and whether your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building can all affect what’s allowed.
At SSB Planning, we help you determine whether your project qualifies under permitted development and can get you a guaranteed approval via a Lawful Development Certificate.
A Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) is an official document issued by your local planning authority that confirms your proposed or existing development is lawful.
Why Apply for an LDC?
✅ Peace of mind before starting work
✅ Proof of lawfulness for future buyers, lenders or solicitors
✅ Protection against enforcement action
