Local authority approvals for Planning permission and Building Regulations are valid for three years. However, gaining permission can take between a few months to the best part of a year if the design is trying to push the boundaries and that is before building work has even started. If you are thinking about extending or remodelling your home in the future, it is a good idea to start planning as early as possible to avoid rushing important decisions and suffering delays.
