Planning Permission for Decorating
For most interior decorating projects within your home, you won't typically need to apply for planning permission.
However, if your building holds 'listed status' (meaning it's legally protected due to its special architectural or historic interest), you absolutely must contact your Local Planning Authority. They will provide specific guidance on what you can and cannot do before you begin any redecoration work.
