Changing Window to Door and Window

Question

Hello,

Do I need Planning permission to change a current window to a door and window using the existing opening and bricking up the old back door? 
Also what costs would I be looking at , the opening is 1800mm wide and would be a single glazed door and then a new window to fit the left over opening.
Thank you

Unless you’re in a conservation area or live in a listed building you would not need any permission.

No planning would be required unless you're in a conservation area.  Cost between 2.5k and 3.5k rough estimate without seeing the job. We're northwest based for pricing purposes. Price varies around the country.

This should straight forward,if a property is in a conservation area or there are conditions on property where you may require consent.
Contact your local building control.
You need to ensure there is adequate structural support(lintel) in situ .

No you do not need planning permission for this and should be looking to pay between £1200-£1800 for full job inc materials

Hi Louise , this would depend on where you are in the country , as I am in Scotland i will give you the answer that would conform here , you do not need planning permission , what you will need is a building warrant , and the reason for this is that you are altering the structure of your home , it will not be flagged up until you try to sell the house , with the new buyer trying to take thousands of the cost of your home , for something so simple , if you are in Scotland speak with your local building control department , if you elsewhere in the UK the planning laws are a little bit more relaxed , hope that helps .
