planning in Newark

Most new buildings or major changes to existing buildings in Newark & Sherwood or to the local environment need planning consent – known as planning permission. Without a planning system everyone could construct buildings or use land in any way they wanted, no matter what effect this would have on other people who live and work in their area.

Newark & Sherwood District Council is responsible for deciding whether a development in the Newark area – anything from an extension on a house to a new shopping centre – should go ahead.

Your Home Architect can help you negotiate this process with our vast experience of working with Newark & Sherwood District Council .

Most types of development in Newark need planning permission. Certain activities in Newark may be allowed under permitted development rights. There are also areas of Nottingham which are protected as a Conservation Area and there are Listed Buildings which carry special planning protection.
