Homeowners unable to determine if window replacements need planning permission before starting renovations
UK homeowners face costly delays and project halts when they discover mid-renovation that their window changes require planning permission they didn't obtain. Current solutions require hiring expensive consultants or contacting local councils with slow response times, leaving homeowners uncertain about legality and facing potential fines or forced reversals of completed work.
