Permitted development · Brighton & Hove

Permitted development in Hove.

Permitted development lets some work go ahead without a full planning application, within set limits. In Hove those limits are tighter in conservation areas and on Green Belt land. We confirm what applies and secure a lawful development certificate from Brighton & Hove City Council where it is worth having.

Common questions

What is permitted development in Hove?

Permitted development is a set of national rules that allow certain extensions and changes without a full application. Limits on size, height, position and materials apply, and Brighton & Hove City Council can confirm a scheme qualifies through a lawful development certificate.

Should I get a lawful development certificate from Brighton & Hove City Council?

It is the written proof that work was lawful, and it removes doubt when you come to sell. For most permitted development schemes in Hove it is worth securing. We prepare and submit it.

Does permitted development apply in conservation areas in Hove?

Rights are reduced in conservation areas and can be removed entirely by an Article 4 direction. We check the position for your address before assuming anything.
