You don't need planning permission providing that your 'permitted development' rights have not been removed by a condition on a previous planning permission.

Bye-laws note: you don't need building bye-law permission to construct raised decking where the height above the adjoining ground level is less than 60 centimetres.

Drainage note: you must not discharge water onto a road unless you have permission to do so from the Highway Authority. Contact the Department for Infrastructure or your Parish Roads Committee for more information.
