Bricks on a building site. Getting Planning Permission

Landlord's Consent

If you are a leaseholder it is vitally important that you check the details of your leasehold agreement before considering any major work. Certain types of work may be forbidden in the lease, and you will have to negotiate with the freeholder before any work can commence. Clearly a good relationship with a freeholder is essential.

Party Wall Agreement

The party wall is that shared with a neighbour if you live in a semi-detached, or terraced house or flat. Any work that might materially affect this wall will require a letter of agreement signed by each party. This is insurance for your neighbour that any damage caused during work will be your responsibility to put right. You will have to pay a surveyor to inspect both sides of the wall to ascertain its condition.

Highways Licence

If you are planning to put a skip outside your property or have delivered materials stocked there you will need a highways license. Skip companies can often take care of this for you, but you must ensure the paper work has been done or you will be liable for a large fine. It is also your responsibility to provide lighting for the skip if it is to remain in place during the night.
