Permitted development · Hertfordshire
Permitted development in Hitchin.
Permitted development lets some work go ahead without a full planning application, within set limits. In Hitchin those limits are tighter in conservation areas and on Green Belt land. We confirm what applies and secure a lawful development certificate from North Hertfordshire Council where it is worth having.

Common questions
What is permitted development in Hitchin?
Permitted development is a set of national rules that allow certain extensions and changes without a full application. Limits on size, height, position and materials apply, and North Hertfordshire Council can confirm a scheme qualifies through a lawful development certificate.
Should I get a lawful development certificate from North Hertfordshire Council?
It is the written proof that work was lawful, and it removes doubt when you come to sell. For most permitted development schemes in Hitchin it is worth securing. We prepare and submit it.
Does permitted development apply in conservation areas in Hitchin?
Rights are reduced in conservation areas and can be removed entirely by an Article 4 direction. We check the position for your address before assuming anything.
