About PRAITE
Free permitted development assessment for UK homeowners. Making planning regulations accessible to everyone.
Our Mission
PRAITE (Permitted Rights Assessment and Information Tool for England) exists to demystify permitted development rights for UK homeowners. We believe that understanding whether your home improvement project requires planning permission shouldn't require hiring an expensive consultant or deciphering complex legal documents.
Our free, easy-to-use tool walks you through the relevant questions for your project and provides instant guidance based on the official General Permitted Development Order 2015 (GPDO). Whether you're planning an extension, a new outbuilding, or roof alterations, PRAITE helps you understand your rights and obligations.

Important Notice
While PRAITE provides guidance based on the GPDO 2015 legislation, it is not a substitute for professional planning advice. Our tool is designed to help you understand the basics of permitted development, but every property and project is unique.
For complex projects or if you're unsure about any aspect of your assessment, we strongly recommend consulting with a qualified planning professional or your local planning authority.
