Do you want to build something new or make major changes to your existing building? You will most likely need planning permission from your authorities to do so. It is crucial you check with your local authorities; they also guide you on how to apply. 

Planning permission is important for many reasons. The good thing is that working with a professional consultant will help you know why you need to apply. Furthermore, this article will help you understand more.

Planning Permission Is a Legal Requirement 

Every country in the world has some rules and regulations guiding the construction of new buildings and modification of the old ones. So, people with such projects need to seek planning permission from the authorities by making relevant applications. 

Failure to do this or attempting to develop the project without seeking permission leads to an offense. The authorities from different parts of the world have clearly outlined the consequences of non-compliance with planning permission regulations.

Clarifies the Magnitude and Scope of the Project

The authorities need to understand the magnitude of the project. And so do other stakeholders including the service providers. The planning permission application clearly indicates the size of the project and how it will be executed. 

The authorities usually ask for supporting documents such as architectural plans and designs, plumbing and electrical designs, land title deeds, and other documents to help understand the project in detail. No wonder, you should work with a professional architect to make the designs and assist with planning permission applications. 

Planning Permission Ensures the Building Is Safe

Meeting the minimum building standards increases the safety of the users. This is why the authorities have minimum requirements for each class of buildings. They focus on structural strength, electrical and fire safety, plumbing and sewer standards, and every fine detail that determines the safety of the building. 

Whether you are modifying an existing house and changing its use or building a new skyscraper, you will need to explain all safety measures during the planning permission application. Otherwise, the authorities may not consider your application.

Establishes the Aesthetics of the Structure

Apart from the structural safety, the planning permission application seeks to determine what the project will look like when completed. This is why the authorities need to see the 3D illustration of the building. In areas with controlled development such as estates, you cannot construct a building that does not meet the set designs and aesthetic standards. 

That is why you need to understand the requirements of the authorities regarding your project before making any planning permission application. With this, you will avoid delays in getting approvals or rejection disappointments.

Conclusion

Planning permission is important for many reasons. It is crucial that you apply before constructing anything to avoid legal implications. Above all, it is important to build a structure that has met the minimum standards for the safety of the users. As mentioned, it is best to work with a professional, and in this case, a qualified architect will provide you with all these services appropriately.
