Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking through the planning system to support the (a) provision, (b) conversion and (c) construction of family annexes to dwellings.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The planning system already supports the creation of family annexes which are incidental to a dwelling, including their conversion and construction, through permitted development rights.
Where the proposed development is outside the scope of the PDR, a planning application would be required.
The government continues to keep permitted development rights under review.
