Building Samples Accompanying Planning Applications

When sending samples to accompany your planning application, please ensure they are clearly labelled with the planning reference number and the relevant planning officer name. Prior to samples being sent to us please notify the relevant planning officer, either by telephone or email. South Cambridgeshire District Council will not take responsibility for building samples lost due to incorrect/no labelling.

Permitted Development Changes from 1 October 2008

From 1 October 2008

  • a large number of homeowners will no longer need planning permission when extending their existing homes;
  • there are new regulations that will reduce the flood risks caused by surface water run-off;
  • there is revised guidance for loft extensions, buildings within gardens, hard surfaces, chimneys, flues etc;
