Householder Application

A simplified planning application used for extensions, alterations, and minor works to existing houses. Householder applications are quicker and cheaper to process than a full planning application. The LPA has 8 weeks from validation to decide. They cannot be used for change of use, outbuildings beyond certain limits, or works to flats - full applications are required in those cases.
