Planning Permission For Staircases

The granting or rejection of planning permission for Certified Stairlifts will depend on numerous factors, such as whether the proposed design is compliant with local building regulations and how the new staircase will affect the overall look of your home. In some cases, you may need to prepare additional documentation and pay application fees. In other cases, the planning office may require you to submit a design and access statement, which explains how your stairs comply with local policies and NPPF guidelines. Having the correct information and documents at hand can greatly help to streamline the process and make it run smoothly for all involved.

Planning Permission for Staircases

A bespoke staircase can be a fantastic addition to your property. However, it’s important to ensure that your staircase is constructed in compliance with local building regulations, especially if it will be located near a boundary or if you live in a conservation area. In addition, you may also need planning permission if you intend to change the size of your staircase, which is likely to impact the space inside your property.

It’s also worth considering if your stair modification project falls under “Permitted Development,” which would allow you to proceed without an application. However, this can be a bit of a grey area, so it’s always worth contacting your local planning office for clarity before proceeding with any work. By thoroughly researching local planning guidelines, and by consulting with experts, you can make sure that your staircase is built in compliance with all requirements.
