Planning Permission?
In
most cases, you do not need planning permission.
Kennels and runs are classified as sectional buildings which are not designed to be permanent
fixtures, buildings such as these do not have their own foundations.
You will
need to apply for planning permission if any of the following cases apply on the
land around your house.
-
You want
to put up a building or structure which would be nearer to any highway than
the nearest part of the "original house", unless there would be at least 20
metres between the new building and any highway. The term "highway" includes
public roads, footpaths, bridleways and byways.
-
More
than half the area of land around the "original house" would be covered by
additions or other buildings.
-
You want
to put up a building or structure which is more than 3 metres high, or more
than 4 metres high if it has a ridged roof. (Measure from the highest ground
next to it.)
-
If your house is a listed building, and you want to put up a building or
structure with a volume of more than 10 cubic metres.
-
If you live in a Conservation Area, a National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,
or the Broads, and you want to put up a building or
structure with a volume of more than 10 cubic metres (though it might be
allowable as an extension)
Note: in all cases,
if your new building would have a volume over 10 cubic metres, and come within 5
metres of the house, it would be treated as an extension. Also, if your new
extension would bring some existing garden building within 5 metres of the
(extended) house, that existing building's volume could be deducted from your
overall volume entitlement for the house, as if it were another extension.
