Do I Need Planning Permission For My Oak Framed Building?
Obtaining council permission and building notices can be a daunting prospect. We offer guidance throughout this process and provide a comprehensive service to obtain all necessary permissions for your project.
Not all buildings require full planning permission. Depending on your local authority, some projects may fall under permitted development, meaning permission won't be needed. Generally, if the proposed oak framed structure isn’t attached to a dwelling and meets specific criteria, the council's permission won't be required. However, we always recommend checking with your local authorities to confirm.
