Welcome to Newick Village

Changes to the Plannning System

There has been a significant increase in the permitted development rights for householders.

These changs came into effect on Wednesday 1st October 2008.

These changes, in the main, refer to a range of developments and alterations which Householders may make to their property without the need to seek planning permission from our local district council.  the changes reduces the scope of planning contro;ls and allow householders to do a much wider range of developments without the need to seek planning permission.

There is an excellent website

http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/hhg/houseguide.html

which gives a wide range of information on potential alterations to existing houses (just click on the part of the house that interests you).

Access this site by the above link or by going to LINKS
