Do I need planning permission for my building work?
You’ll usually need planning permission if you’re:
- Building something new (like a house or outbuilding)
- Making big changes to your home (e.g. an extension)
- Changing how the building is used (like converting it into a business space)
If your home is a listed building or in a conservation area, even smaller changes might need permission.
You might not need permission for:
- Internal refurbishments
- Like-for-like roof or window replacements
- Adding a small porch or conservatory
- Loft conversions that stay within size limits
These can fall under Permitted Development Rights, but there are rules around size, height, and location.
Always check with your local council before booking if you're not sure.
Builders in Hackney: Homeowners vs renters
For homeowners:
You’re responsible for hiring, paying, and insuring the builder. Always get a contract in writing, and check your builder has insurance in place. For big projects, planning permission or building regulations may apply.
For renters:
Your landlord is typically responsible for arranging and paying for building work unless damage was caused by you. If something needs fixing, contact them or your letting agent first. Emergency or safety-related jobs (e.g. roof collapse, damp) should be reported immediately.
