Planning approaches vary from county to county.
Herefordshire will often be happy to do it on the nod without plans and planning committee consideration.
Shropshire, on the other hand, requires plans and charges by the square meter for change of use from residential to holiday letting. Including drawings and the application it can easily cost over £1000. The only plus is the possibility of avoiding council tax and making use of business rates relief.
