Do bay windows need planning permission?

We are commonly asked by homeowners whether new bay windows require planning permission. Bay windows are the only window style that is classed as an extension because they need the wall to be expanded to allow the bay shape; if you're replacing a window that isn't currently a bay style. This means that you will need to apply for planning permission before getting new bay windows installed. However, if you're just replacing existing bay windows then you won't need to apply for planning permission.

At SEH BAC, we can take care of any planning permissions for new windows and advise on the technicalities. We'll be able to tell you what would be the best solution for your home.

What is the purpose of a bay window?

The purpose of a bay window is to provide additional space, increase natural light, and enhance the aesthetics of a room. It protrudes outward from the main structure, creating a nook or alcove that can be used for seating, displaying objects, or enjoying panoramic views. Bay windows often serve as architectural features that add charm and character to a building.
