Does changing front door require permission from council

Yorkshirelass_2

Reading your thread made me look and I got a surprise or is that a shock!


Our local authority has this on their website


The following types of development to dwelling houses now require planning permission.
The enlargement, improvement or other alteration of a dwelling. This includes works to:

• the chimney
• the roof covering or roof features (soffit, facia, etc.) on the front slope
• the roof structure involving the construction of roof lights or dormers
• rainwater goods
• the wall involving the application of rendering, painting or cladding
• alterations to masonry details, windows or window openings, doors and door surrounds
• Construction of a porch at the front of a house including the construction of doors enclosing an open porch.
• The erection or demolition of a gate, wall, fence or other means of enclosure within the curtilage of a dwelling house
• The installation of satellite television dishes and aerials.

There is no fee but you do have to apply for permission.

Paint the whole house luminous pink if you wish.

But not bright yellow.

No, 1 of the few things you can do that the council BC don't want a cut out of, :mad::mad:

If the OP intends to replace the door and frame they will need to go through Building control for a "Building notice" (Fee payable) or have the work carried out through FENSA registered installer who will include the certificate fee in their quote but as we all know a FENSA registered company is not a guarantee of the job complying with building regulations..

As already mentioned if the house is in a Conservation area they may well need Planning Permission.
