In this powerful interview, I sit down with Ian Walmsley, the
founder of The Planning Geek, to uncover the
TRUTH about planning permission, permitted development rights,
Article 4 directions, and so much more.

If you're a UK property investor trying to navigate the
complexities of planning law, this is the one video you can't
afford to miss. Ian shares over 20 years of experience and
answers the BIG questions most people get wrong — even planning
officers themselves consult his website!

Whether you're converting commercial properties to residential,
scaling your HMO portfolio, or simply extending your home,
understanding permitted development could save you tens of
thousands of pounds and months of unnecessary delays.
