Changes in Home Planning Legislation
The government intends to adjust the current legislative frame related to home improvements. Consequently, changes such as conservatives, extensions or eco-friendly improvements will be carried out more easily. These improvements will no longer require planning permission, unless they interfere greatly with neighbouring homes.
The application process for planning permission will also be simplified, with common householder appeal decisions being taken in eight weeks rather than 16, as it is the case now. Moreover, a full planning application will no longer be necessary for minor adjustments to a plan already approved of.
While the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) was appreciative of the proposals, the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba) stated its concern regarding the more speedy implementation of poor design decisions.
