Understanding Permitted Development: Expert Guidance from Entrust Services

Navigating permitted development regulations can be a complex process. These regulations vary depending on the UK nation, the type of project you’re undertaking, and any specific planning designations in the area. To add to the challenge, legislation is frequently updated, meaning it’s essential to work with the latest version of the regulations to avoid costly mistakes or delays.

At Entrust Services, we specialise in helping businesses and developers confidently navigate permitted development rules. With decades of combined experience across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, our team has a deep understanding of how these regulations apply across different sectors, including telecommunications, renewable energy, and EV charging infrastructure. We provide tailored advice to ensure our clients secure planning permission through the most efficient route possible.

Choosing the Right Planning Route

One of the most critical aspects of permitted development is determining the correct planning route. Many projects don’t necessarily require a full planning application—there are often alternative pathways that streamline approvals and reduce administrative burdens. Selecting the right route from the outset can:

- Avoid unnecessary reports that increase costs and extend timelines

- Reduce project delays by ensuring applications are submitted correctly the first time

- Ensure compliance with the latest regulations to prevent issues later in the process

By leveraging our expertise, clients can confidently move forward with their projects, knowing they are on the most time- and cost-effective path to approval.
