If you’ve made changes to your commercial property without obtaining the necessary planning permissions, you might find yourself in need of retrospective planning permission. Whether you’ve altered the layout, changed the use of the property, or carried out a renovation, obtaining the right permissions after the fact can seem daunting. However, with the right expertise, the process doesn’t have to be stressful. Plans 2 Extend is here to help guide you through the steps required to secure retrospective planning approval, ensuring your changes are legally compliant.

1. What is Retrospective Planning Permission?

Retrospective planning permission is required when you’ve already made changes to your property without getting prior approval from the local planning authority. This often applies to alterations such as layout changes, extensions, or a change in the property's use. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t worry Plans 2 Extend specializes in helping commercial clients secure planning approval after the work has already begun.
