Do I require Planning Permission for a building?

In general, yes.

Many people see modular and portable buildings as ‘temporary buildings’ and therefore don’t believe planning is required.

The ruling is that you need to obtain planning permission for any building that is to be on site for longer than 28 days.

We advise that you speak to your local planning department to discuss your project and obtain their feedback.

We will help you to apply for planning by providing:

• All drawings and building specifications free of charge
• Advice on building regulation issues to support your application
• Contact details for an expert planning consultant company

The planning permission application process typically takes between 10 and 12 weeks from submission.
