Find out if you need planning permission for alterations to your house
From dropped kerbs to extensions - find out if you will need to apply for planning permission.
Every project is different, and there are no set rules as to what will and won't require planning permission. Take a look at the following common examples for more information:
You would probably expect all extensions to require planning permission, but they sometimes don't.
Permitted developments - no planning permission required
Some extensions may be classed as a 'permitted development' and won't require any planning permission at all.
As long as your project complies with all other permitted development criteria, you can generally build:
- for a detached house - the permitted rear extension is 4 metres from the original rear wall of the house
- for all other houses - the permitted rear extension is 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of the house
Permitted developments - prior approval required
Some larger single storey rear extensions might still be classed as a permitted development, and won't require planning permission either, but you must let us know you are building it. This is called 'prior approval, or prior notification' and is a much simpler process than householder planning permission.
As long as your project complies with all other permitted development criteria, you can generally build:
- for a detached house - the permitted rear extension is 8 metres from the original rear wall of the house
- for all other houses - the permitted rear extension is 6 metres beyond the original rear wall of the house.
Read more about costs and how to apply.
Please note: this process is NOT available for any house in a conservation area.
Extensions which aren't a permitted development
Any extension that doesn't fall into either of the above categories, will require a householder planning application.
These might include:
- an extension to the side of your property
- the height of your single-storey extension is more than 4 metres
- a two-storey extension to the rear of your property
- an extension which wraps around the side and back of your property
- an extension which is being added to an existing extension, that would extend your property more than permitted development rules allow.
These are only some examples of common extensions which will require a planning application.

Find out how we can helpPlanning permission is only needed for a new vehicular access onto a classified road, such as those beginning with an A, B or C. Most houses on an estate will not need planning permission.
However, all works on a public highway will need our agreement and you will need to purchase a 'Vehicular Access Pack' which will give you more information about getting a dropped kerb.
This pack, which costs £40, explains the council's requirements and the procedure to be followed.
You can order and pay in one of two ways:
- credit card, debit card or cheque at any customer service centre
- credit card or debit card by calling customer services on (01482) 393939 - Select Option 6 then Option 4
Your pack will then be posted out to you.
Please note: all construction costs must be covered by yourself and there will be a further fee of £107, for inspections, if the proposal goes ahead. Extra charges may apply if a Traffic Regulation Order is affected, such as removal of parking bay.
Removing trees?
If your proposed work involves the removal of trees, you should first check if the trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or protected by virtue of the property being within a Conservation Area. This can be done by contacting us:
Email: treesandlandscape@eastriding.gov.uk
Phone: (01482) 393637 or (01482) 393635

Find out how we can helpThere are two ways in which you can get confirmation if you need to apply for planning permission:
For only £60 we can tell you if you will need to apply for planning permission. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to planning permission and building control. We know how confusing it can be so we're happy to help and hopefully take the stress out of your building project:
- we provide a cheap and quick service - only £60 (inc. VAT)
- we confirm whether you need to apply for planning permission
- we establish if you need building regulation approval
- you only need to provide basic sketch plans, making sure that dimensions are clearly indicated (in metres, not feet)
- you get a decision from the council within 14 days stating whether or not you need to apply for planning or building regulations approval
- our decision is written proof if planning permission or building regulations were not required, which is useful when selling your home
Check if you need planning permission and building regulation approval
You can also find out if you need planning permission by submitting a formal application known as a 'Lawful Development Certificate' via the Planning Portal website.
However, this option is rarely used in the East Riding, and is not recommended for the following reasons:
- As this is a national procedure fees vary, but a house extension application will cost £103
- This service does not tell you if building regulations apply
- Full plans of the existing and proposed development have to be provided
- Applications can take up to 8 weeks, as the council still has to consult on them
If you build without having received the correct planning permission, this could be classed as an unauthorised development. You could be served an enforcement notice, which could order you, at your own expense to undo all the changes you have made. If you fail to follow an enforcement notice, or if you have committed a criminal offence, such as an unauthorised demolition, you could be prosecuted.

A cookie is a small text file that resides on your computer. Cookies are used to remember your settings when you revisit a website and to identify how visitors navigate the site. Cookies provide valuable information to website owners to adapt and make changes to the site in order to improve the user experience.
Cookies are anonymous and contain no personal data. If you never register or leave personal information at a site, the only confirmation they give is that you are a returning visitor. The cookie will only contain information that you freely provide to a website.

Session cookies
Files that allow a site to link the actions of a visitor during a single browser session. These might be used by an internet bank or webmail service. They are not stored long term and are considered "less privacy intrusive" than persistent cookies.
Persistent cookies
These remain on the user's device between sessions and allow one or several sites to remember details about the visitor. They may be used by marketers to target advertising or to avoid the user having to provide a password each visit.
First and third-party cookies
A cookie is classed as being first-party if it is set by the site being visited. It might be used to study how people navigate a site.
It is classed as third-party if it is issued by a different server to that of the domain being visited. It could be used to trigger a banner advert based on the visitor's viewing habits.
