Very recently I read of plans to do away with planning permissions for people who don't want to move , but would rather extend their property instead,
if this is the case I wonder will health and safety requirements gradually decease as over time plans, and regulations get dragged down,
and if only carried out by professional builders, and not D.I.Y. people instead who might build a two bedroomed house into a taller three bed roomed house , assuming that the footings have been dug deep enough and sufficiently made strong enough to take the weight of the added structure,
Q; so is doing away with planning permission good or a bad idea, when it comes to improving or expanding a property , and should only be carried out by professional builders,.
