1. Permitted Development Rights vs. Full Planning Permission
Permitted Development (PD) rights allow certain improvements and enlargements to be carried out without submitting a full planning application. In 2025, local councils across Greater London have updated spatial limits regarding rear extensions and height thresholds. However, if your property is situated within a Conservation Area or is a Listed Building, Article 4 directions may restrict these rights.
