Planning and building rules in Cheadle Hulme

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

We confirm whether your project is permitted development, needs prior approval or needs a householder application, and prepare the right submission.

Planning and building regulations are separate approvals; most projects need building regulations even when planning is not needed.
