Permitted Development

Helping homeowners across Bristol, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Devon, Cornwall and beyond secure planning permits.

Permitted Development Rights including Prior Approval Applications offer a valuable opportunity for property owners to enhance and expand their properties without going through the full planning permission process. At Salmon Planning, we specialise in helping clients to understand and leverage these rights to their fullest potential. Our team of chartered planning consultants provides expert guidance on the scope of permitted development rights, ensuring your project complies with all necessary regulations while maximising its development potential.

The Advantages of Permitted Development?


  • Speed/Efficiency: Where viable, permitted development rights bypass the need for commissioning many environmental regulations, allowing for quicker project commencement and completion.

  • Cost-Effective: Reduce the necessity for extensive consultants' reports which can significantly lower project costs and administrative burdens and speed up decision making.

  • Value Addition: Utilising permitted development rights effectively can considerably enhance the value and utility of your property and is invaluable in providing a 'fall-back' position in controversial development proposals.


Our Expert Services in Permitted Development

  • Feasibility Assessments: We conduct thorough evaluations to determine if your project qualifies as permitted development under the latest and continually changing national regulations. 

  • Design and Planning: In conjunction with our expert planning consultants, our team of skilled in-house architects will design your project within the parameters of permitted development rights, ensuring optimal use of space and compliance.

  • Application and Notification Process: While permitted development often does not necessitate a complete planning application, specific processes, such as prior approval or notification, may be necessary. We manage these submissions on your behalf, ensuring everything is in order.

  • Advice on Restrictions: We provide clear guidance on the limitations and conditions associated with permitted development rights, helping you navigate potential pitfalls effectively.
