Replacing windows and doors can improve your home’s appearance, comfort and energy efficiency. In many cases, these changes can be made under Permitted Development (PD) without a full planning application.
See what you could build at your home and choose the right drawing package.
Most replacement windows and doors fall under Class A of the Permitted Development Order. The main limits relate to the appearance, materials and whether the property is a listed building or in a conservation area, where additional rules may apply.
Your new windows or doors must comply with all of the relevant PD rules. If any single limit is exceeded, a normal planning application may be required.
A range of windows and doors can often be replaced under PD, including:
WindowsLike-for-like or similar style replacements, such as uPVC, timber or aluminium.
External doorsFront, side or rear doors can often be replaced.
Patio doorsIncluding French doors and bi-folding doors.
Roof windowsCertain roof windows can be replaced or added under PD (subject to limits).Replacement windows and doors must be similar in size and appearance to the existing ones. Enlarging openings or creating new ones may require planning permission.
The new windows and doors should be of a similar appearance to the existing ones, especially on the front elevation or in a conservation area. Different materials or styles may need planning permission.
If your property is listed or in a conservation area, additional rules apply and you may need planning permission, even for like-for-like replacements.

We will check your property, apply the relevant Permitted Development rules and help you configure the right design and drawing package for your home.
Permitted Development rights described on this page apply to houses in England under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. Different planning rules apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This page is general guidance, not a formal planning determination — always check your own property and, where you need certainty, apply to your local planning authority for a Lawful Development Certificate.
Each one is already drawn. You choose the material, roof and options we actually draw, and that is the package you receive.
