"Brexit has had no major impact on permitted development rights, however recent changes have been made that mean more building/development can take place without the need of planning permission. Namely, extensions: a lot of them can now be built, effectively, 3mx3mx3m (dependant on neighbouring properties etc)."

I would advise looking on YouTube at "permitted developments" as a starting point. *Swimming Pools are also a permitted development haha. Kind regards."

"None, and it's even easier to build, and if you're having problems with your council, you can go straight to the government to get your build done,"
