Yes, you will need planning permission for your annexe
Although there are a small number of situations where an annexe may be installed without full planning permission, if you are creating a semi-permanent living space for someone to reside in, approval from your Local Planning Authority will usually be required.
The planning process can seem daunting, but we’re here to make it straightforward. Our team will guide you through every stage, from initial advice through to completion.
Wherever possible, we work under the Caravan Act. This legislation can allow an annexe to be installed legally and efficiently using a Certificate of Lawfulness (CoL), avoiding the need for full planning permission and reducing the delays, uncertainty, and additional requirements that often come with external consultations and statutory processes.
If you’d like to discuss your project, please get in touch – we’d be delighted to help.
