Part 2: Minor operations

The GPDO covers minor changes to a property under Schedule 2, Part 2.

Any of these permitted developments could be withdrawn via a restriction on the building usually through a previous planning application or via restrictions in a conservation area etc.

Note that further permitted development rights exist in Part 1 and covers items such as extensions, dormers, porches, outbuildings, driveways, chimneys and satellite dishes. Part 14 covers renewable energy items such as solar panels and air source heat pumps.
