Do I need planning permission?
It is important to find out if you need planning permission before you make improvements or changes to a property.
If you go ahead without permission, you may end up having to put things back to how they were.
To find out whether you need planning permission, you can:
- check the Planning Portal
- apply for a Lawful Development Certificate for a Proposed Use or Development
- email us at planningandregenerationenquiries@birmingham.gov.uk
