Government to consult on new pd rights to split houses into two flats

**Exciting News at SY Design Studio: Government to Consult on New Permitted Development Right to Split Houses into Two Flats!**


Are you ready for some groundbreaking changes in the world of architecture and property development? At SY Design Studio, we are thrilled to share the latest news about a potential new permitted development right that could revolutionize the way we approach housing design.


According to a recent announcement made by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, the government is considering consulting on a new permitted development right that would allow homeowners to split a house into two separate flats without the need for full planning permission. This could be a game-changer for property owners looking to maximize space and unlock new possibilities for their homes.


The proposed right, if implemented following the consultation in 2024, would enable any house to be converted into two flats as long as the exterior remains unaffected. This news opens up exciting opportunities for creative architectural solutions and innovative housing developments.


While specific details and restrictions are yet to be finalized, we anticipate certain conditions such as the exclusion of listed buildings or properties in conservation areas. The introduction of this new permitted development right could also pave the way for additional changes in the sector, such as new rules regarding heat pumps and other energy-efficient technologies.


At SY Design Studio, we are eagerly awaiting further updates on this consultation and are ready to assist our clients in navigating these potential changes. Stay tuned for more information as we follow this development closely and explore the implications for our architectural projects.
