With effect from 13 November this year, regulations have come into force which change the circumstances when planning permission is not required for development.

The scope of exemptions has been increased, and deal with, for example, development within the curtilage of a dwelling house, a flat or building containing flats, and also development within the curtilage of a non-domestic building. Also captured are exemptions relating to demolition as well as maintenance, repair and minor alteration.

The rationale behind such adjustments may be to streamline the planning process and to free up resources from within the Development and Planning Authority, but whatever the case, the regulations demonstrate the flexibility of the Planning Service when needed.

For all planning law related matters, please contact our dedicated team of Alastair Hargreaves, Robin Gist, Peter Ferbrache and Caren Vidamour.
