The good thing is that not all temporary structures are bound by these regulations; some are exempted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts in these structures know when it is necessary to apply for these permissions, and they will guide you accordingly. Hence, you should choose them well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are new to temporary structures, you might be wondering when you need to seek planning permission for temporary buildings. But if you have gone through this process before, it might look easier and more familiar. Regardless, consulting a professional is the prudent move to make each time you want to install temporary structures for your business or organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Planning Permission for Temporary Buildings?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are permissions required to build both permanent and temporary structures that fall within certain brackets or classifications. For instance, in the UK, one has to seek permission to build on land or make alterations to existing structures under certain conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning permission is necessary for temporary buildings that are big and will be used for a long time. Hence, the temporary solution provider must have the insights to know how to go about this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requirements for Planning Permission for Temporary Buildings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are instances when planning permission for temporary buildings is needed. Although professional temporary solution providers will guide you, you should know the types of temporary buildings that must receive planning permission.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large temporary structures \u2013 Do you have a big structure covering more than 100 m<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? This is a regulation in the UK, but other regions might have different guidelines. Most likely, large steel-framed structures, clear spans, and modular panel temporary structures will be subject to planning permissions. So, check with your LPA if you are not sure. Some other guidelines such as the ratio of the structure&#8217;s size to the land area may also apply. But to understand this more fully, you can visit the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/smart-space.co.uk\/planning-regulations\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart-Space<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> website, especially if you are in the UK.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-term temporary structures \u2013 Temporary structures that will stay intact for over a month are subject to planning permission for temporary buildings in the UK. Other countries around the world might have different guidelines that are typically similar to these. So, if you are planning to use industrial tents and temporary steel structures for a long time, be prepared to seek planning permissions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Application Process for Planning Permission for Temporary Buildings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, clients need to know that the planning permission for temporary buildings is a legal requirement that should be processed before one can buy or rent temporary structures. Unless it is an emergency, the submission process should be given enough time. It could take up to a maximum of 12 weeks, especially if there are issues with the authorities. Sometimes, you might be asked to make amendments or provide additional information before approvals are given.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The application involves filling out either hardcopy or online forms. After that, the local authorities will review the forms and grant permission if there is no issue. Most temporary solution providers predict a quick process, especially when they take over and assist you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, one could jeopardize their project if they do not make the application where it is needed. This will eventually lead to enforcement and even a court battle with the authorities. It is better to comply and incur regular costs than waste time and incur high fines. If you are not keen to apply, choose a temporary project that does not require planning permission for temporary buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Planning Permission for Temporary Buildings Is Not Needed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are instances when you do not need to apply for planning permission for temporary buildings. While this is good news for clients, it might limit the space you can get in your temporary building, especially if it is for business. You will need to do a cost-benefit analysis to determine what is the best option. Here are instances when you do not need to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small structures \u2013 Temporary structures that are short and 25% or less of the size of the original structure will not require any permit application. This means small extensions whether they are used for the short or long term are exempt. Stand-alone temporary structures that are less than 100 m<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will also not require an application, particularly in the UK.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emergency structures \u2013 In cases of flooding, fire, and other emergency responses where the need for space is only for a short time, seeking planning permission for temporary buildings may not be necessary. As mentioned, those that will be in use for less than a month will not require permission application.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is prudent that you work closely with an expert to know when you need planning permission for temporary buildings and when you do not. With the above insights and with the help of professional temporary structure experts, making the right decisions is easy.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is not always easy to execute any construction project, especially one that requires planning permissions.
