Planning permission for bifold doors

Question

Do bifold doors require planning permission? When would they and when might they not need approval? Does it depend on their size, etc.?

Tim · Accepted Answer

If the bi-fold doors are replacing an original door, then no permission is required. If you are to knock down a wall to put in a bifold door then a structural survey would be required before works.

If you're just swapping one set of doors for another then no. If you're altering your building a substantial amount and or your property is grade listed then potentially yes, but usually if you're modifying your house to allow bigger doors, you'll just need to get it signed off by building regs. This can be sorted by your approved installer.

Depending on the Property!!!

Door Opening  Sizes too make a difference!
‘Access for rapid exit for instance,,’!

only if your taking a supporting wall down and need steel in. I still don't think you need planning permission but it is prudent to make sure it is propped correctly and the people doing the work are component. It not a handyman's job
