It is a common question that when people enquiry about home lifts in the United Kingdom they wonder if planning permission is required? The simple answer is no - all that is needed is a standard building notice.
Once you have decided which one of the several through-floor lifts available on the market you are going to buy, you will then need to submit a building notice submission to your local council authority. A simple Google search should bring up the council's website and its contact details otherwise telephone directory enquires or try the Phone Book.
The department you need to deal with is Building Standards. Depending on the council's website, a building notice application can be downloaded as a PDF or Word document otherwise you can request that they send you one out in the post. Once you have completed the form it needs to be posted to the council - then just wait for them to respond.
A building notice is for minor works such as lifts and elevators and allows applicants to give notice of their intent to carry out work on their home without submitting information for formal assessment and approval. A fee may apply so check with your local council. The assessment and approval of works is then carried out by Building Standards during the construction process.
You must notify Building Standards a minimum of two working days before you intend a domestic lifts company to commence work on installing your home lift and to allow at various stages inspection of the works. Typically the lead time is between six to 10 weeks for a through-floor lift depending on the application and whether the lift needs custom alterations so there is plenty of time.
Once the domestic lift or through floor lift is installed, Building Control will issue a completion certificate stating it meets with Building Regulations. If you intend to sell your property in the future the document should be kept in a safe place as the buyer may require it. A building notice application is valid for three years from the date of application.
Overall, obtaining a standard building notice for a home lift is very straight forward and much easier than planning permission for a house extension, for example. That can take months and months depending on the size of the extension. But As long as you notify the council in plenty of time, it will not delay the installation of your new lift in anyway.
To help afford a home lift, it is also possible to apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant. Again, the applicant must go through their local council that will provide the money required for the work.
The grant applies to homeowners but also those people who live in rented accommodation as long as they have permission from their landlords.
A maximum of �30,000 can be paid out for a Disabled Facilities Grant but this figure can be increased by local authorities for help with other home improvement projects.
