Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (No 2) (England) Order 2008

As part of the Government’s reform of the planning system the Government introduced new changes on 1st October 2008 to the permitted development rights for householders. The Government’s stated intention was to make it easier for householders wanting to extend their homes without the need for planning permission.

 

The FMB, having been involved with the drafting of the new GPDO, has produced a number of useful documents for use by members, householders, householder agents and local planning authorities. These documents can be viewed by clicking on the link to the Town and Country Planning Guidance below or by selecting from the panel on the left of the screen.
