Do I need planning permission for outdoor weather protection systems?

No, most awnings, canopies, verandas and retractable pergolas are treated as temporary structures and do not need planning permission. Open glass verandas usually fall under permitted development with some caviats. Enclosed glass rooms and larger or more permanent structures are more likely to need permission over a certain size or location, as are installations on listed buildings or in conservation areas. We can assist where necessary and provide drawings and specifications along with 3D drawings for many products in order to clarify your requirements with your local authority if there is any doubt We’ll advise on your specific situation based on experience, and your local planning authority can confirm if you’re unsure.
