Abstract

In recent years there has been a significant expansion in permitted development (PD) rights in England. This Insights report brings together the key findings from two pieces of research, commissioned by the RICS Research Trust, to provide evidence about the extent, usage and implications of new PD rights. Impacts identified in the research relate to rural planning, the provision of affordable housing and the role of local authorities in place making. The expansion of PD rights means, inter alia, that many more types of building conversion can now proceed without having to go through the full formal planning procedure in England. The main argument in favour of PD rights is that they remove unnecessary administrative impediments to development imposed by the planning system. Concerns, however, have been raised about both the principles and the specific impacts of different categories of PD.
