Pergola, does it need planning permission?

[Mum2Fergus]

Just that really

How big is it? We didn't get PP for ours, although I did reassure neighbours that we weren't building a gymbalow.

2.5 metres each side length, it will be triangular, not sure about height yet

It's very unlikely to need planning permission, but there are some unusual circumstances where it is required. Here's a useful checklist.

If you're still concerned, check with your local Development Control team.

Unlikely, but the official website you should check is this one
