Local Planning policies explained.
Houses which are situated outside the town settlement zone are unfortunately limited in the amount they can increase by. This is due to planning constraints issued by the local borough councils to help ensure economically and environmentally sustainable development. Basically a bunch of hoops you have to jump through in order to get planning, but don’t fear, Inside Out is here to guide you.
So the ultimate question: How much can I increase by?
