I want to extend my property. What is the procedure?

1. Find if your property is located in/affects the settings of a conservation area or a listed building.  (Even if it doesn’t planning permission may still be required.)
2. Check that the permitted developments have not been removed.
3. Investigate if the proposed works could be permitted development: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/public/tools/

Send in draft sketch of your proposal to builtconservation@wirral.gov.uk and a Conservation Officer will contact you within 15 working days providing advice and guidance.
