When most people hear the term planning permission, they think of red tape and countless bureaucratic processes, but in reality, planning permission is quite straightforward.
What It Actually Grants You
The approval allows the development to be built within the limits of the approval, exactly as you designed. Any significant deviation from the approved design will require a further application for planning permission.
The Conditions Attached to an Approval
So there are conditions attached to an approval. These are things like having to use specific materials, starting work within a time frame (usually 3 years) and ensuring that any new doors and windows are identical to the existing ones. For Home Extensions in Upper Slaughter these will relate to local character and will impact on the design of your Home Extension in the Cotswolds (where it is located in a conservation area).
Planning Permission vs Building Regulations
In summary, work covered by Building Regulations deals with issues relating to the structural safety, drainage and insulation of buildings that are not dealt with by Planning.

If Your Application Is Refused
Many house extension refusals can be overcome by slight modifications to the original design to address Council concerns, such as revising roof, wall or window heights and resolving any neighbours’ concerns over impact on adjacent properties.
Building Without Permission
Work not approved can be required to be demolished or altered at the homeowner’s cost. Such work can also create problems when trying to sell a house in the future as every solicitor carries out a search of the property’s planning history.
In summary, if you know what planning permission actually covers then you can save yourself a lot of time and a lot of money in the long run.
