Potential Constraints

With any development there are always potential constraints that can make even the simplest of developments into a very complex or even impossible project. In fact, most enforcements and retrospective planning issues are related to minor developments that people assumed would be permitted development.

Many people who have received enforcements thought their project would be permitted development having read some info on the planning portal or been mis-advised by a builder. However, there are many constraints that can either remove your permitted development rights or make it difficult to get planning approval. Some examples of constraints include; article 4 direction, section 106, conservation areas and even just living under a flight path can remove your permitted development rights or make it difficult to get planning approval.

In some cases specialist reports may need to be submitted with all the usual supporting evidence and drawings. Examples of these include heritage statements, flood risk assessments, transport surveys, wildlife reports and many others.
