Hi All, This question has probably been asked before (didnt find it in a search but..) We currently in live in an area(our own house) close to my wife's parents house. A site which is A3 Zoned has come on the market and we would love to purchase it. It is about (as the crow flies) 400 meters East from my wife's family…

Could anyone tell me, would I need Planning Permission to install a French Door into what is now just a wall at the back of my house?

a grey area for which you could get a section 5 declaration from your local authority.
in my own opinion, once its on the ground floor and does not increase any possible overlooking of adjoining properties, id accept its as exempt.

As above ^^^^^.
In the section 5 you would be asking that it is development but it is exempted development. You could reference Section 4.1(h) of the P&D Act 2000 whereby it does not affect the streetscape, it could be considered exempt.
