Keeping abreast of planning permissions in your area can be a great way of determining what you might be able to achieve with your own property. This has taken on an increasing importance as people delay moving in turbulent market conditions.

Check out what your neighbours are getting consents for and then apply for something similar.  For instance, if they’ve just got consent for a 500 sq ft flat roof extension - then you know that you will be in with a good chance of achieving a similar consent.
