Planning permission is the single biggest hurdle for anyone who has acquired land on which to build a house, or wants to extend or carry out other building work on property. There is never a guarantee that permission will be given and without it no project can start. Yet the system is not at all user-friendly. There is a bewildering array of formalities to go through and ever more stringent requirements to satisfy. Planning permission has never been more difficult to get, nor so sought after - every year over half-a-million applications are made, and the number is rising.
These trends create a tremendous need for this book, providing as it does clear, step-by-step guidance on how to go about securing planning permission successfully. It is written in an accessible style and illustrated throughout with photographs, drawings and examples.

Reviews'At last a really useful book on planning for the selfbuilder. It is user-friendly, and describes how individuals can best set about getting the permission they require to build the home they want. This is one of the half dozen really essential books to read if you want to build a new home for yourself.'
Murray Armor, Author 15 editions of Building Your Own Home
'A straight forward, readable guide to getting the best results from the planning system. You'll be surprised at how little you knew and how much you have to gain. For builders, developers and keen individuals, it's money well spent.'
Darren Field BSc CTIS, Building professional
'Obtaining planning permission is an essential part of the design process, especially if architects want to earn their fee. As architects we often pretend to know the answers, but do we? This book is an essential source of reference to the architect in private practice.'
George Baxter ARIBA, Chartered Architect, writer and lecturer
'The sort of 'nitty gritty' advice you would normally expect to pay a professional a considerable sum of money for.'
