Permitted development rights are provided by the Planning (General Development) (Northern Ireland) Order 1993 (the GDO) to allow certain types of development to proceed without the need for a planning application, since planning permission for them is deemed to be granted.

Such rights have long played a role in reducing the number of planning applications for minor and un contentious development and reducing the regulatory burden of the planning system.

C. McILvar Ltd has considerable knowledge of the GDO and the types of development which can proceed without official planning permission and is able to provide you with professional advice to this regard.
