Do I Need Planning Permission.co.uk

Claim:
there is an exemption from Building Regs and Planning Permission provided:

Internal Floor area no more than 30 sq metres

depth is no greater than the distance to the nearest building.

so you do not have to submit plans.

Tell your neighbours that it is a septic tank or something, otherwise they will try to break in when the bomb falls.

I expect someone will have a link to the rule, it has been here before. Try a search.


?Evidence:
Does anyone have the REFERENCE (section ? of Town and country planning act 1990 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/8/contents ) to the exemption you think exists re planning permission ?

My local planning officers line is
"What you propose would be classified as an engineering operation. Unlike Building Regulations, there are no exemptions under the Planning Acts that permit nuclear shelters or similar structures to be constructed. As a result, planning permission would be required. Whether such a proposal would be likely to be granted planning permission would depend upon an assessment of its impact on the character of the surrounding area and neighbours' amenities."

The exemption is under class 6 - small detached buildings: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/responsibilities/buildingregulations/approvalneeded/exemptions/classvi

The class 6 exemption is for building regs not planning permission. Apologies for the necropost but this comes up in google search..

We’re need the bunker for a astroid that’s about to hit earth.

Hi, I'm wondering if I need planning permission to build an underground bunker thinking about buying small plot of land build under

I have an old roc bunker. Can I extend it without Planning consent?

Underground (engineering) works will require Planning approval.

If I have some land in Cumbria can I built a war shelter with out permission from anyone and the government??? Kind regards MR JOHN HOGAN.

Is the land part of a residential curtilage? If so, it ‘may’ be considered PD. Otherwise, it’ll more than likely require Planning.

Ok, so if I bought a patch of land with a building (slightly falling down but residential) I could potentially, repair the building and add an EXTENSION underground in the 'Garden' (Roof)?

You can do what you like… providing you comply with the Planning rules, requirements and policies.

Dear Sir/Madam.
She to existing an existing add on I only have a small allowance left to build an extension.
Would it be possible to build underground putting a staircase in part of the existing building but then extending down and out into the garden from there.
It wouldn't be a vast room probably 3x4 metres and 2.5 deep.
Once covered, the roof, apart from a light shaft or two, would again become patio.
And would planning permission be required do you think?
Many thanks.

It sounds like an engineering option, so would require Planning.

like the way everyone is asking if you need permission to build a secret bunker lol priceless! Im not asking anyway if i can protect myself or family from a war i want no part of!! Its a joke! I f i wanna build a bunker ill build one!!
