New Build Planning Permission in
New Romney
A new house on a plot in New Romney needs proper planning permission, and getting that permission means understanding exactly what your particular site allows before spending on detailed design. We assess that honestly first.
Get StartedSelf-Build, Replacement Dwelling, Or Land Potential
New Romney’s planning team assesses a single new dwelling on its own merits, design, scale, impact on neighbours, and how it fits the character of the area. That’s a genuinely different conversation to a multi-unit scheme, and treating it the same way wastes time on considerations that don’t actually apply.
Replacement dwellings, demolishing an existing house to build something new, follow broadly the same route but with their own specific policy considerations in New Romney, since councils often weigh the existing building’s contribution to the area against what’s proposed to replace it.
Larger schemes, several dwellings or more, genuinely sit outside what we’re describing here, and often suit the outline planning permission route instead, which we can also help with if your project turns out to be bigger than initially planned.
