Planning permission for building a swimming pool
Changes to permitted development rights mean you may not require planning permission at all – even if planning permission was previously denied. Use a specialist swimming pool company to guide you through the procedure, advising you on the necessary steps to take, which will speed up the process significantly.
Many of our clients have homes in areas of outstanding natural beauty, or in conservation areas, and have previously found it difficult or impossible to get planning permission for the size and style of pool house they wanted for their home and families. Many of these gave up because it meant the scheme had to be changed and watered down to the extent that it was no longer interesting or viable.
All this has now changed. It has become remarkably easy to get permission to develop. Many of the difficulties have simply been removed, so many of our clients could reconsider their plans, and have a far better chance of getting an unqualified go-ahead.
Are you one of them?
If so, please ring Origin and we can re-examine the original plans, and take things on to the next stage in what is now a far easier planning environment.

Swimming pools that require planning permission, or Building Regulations Consent, include:
- Indoor swimming pools where the design doesn’t meet permitted development criteria
- All swimming pools on listed premises
- Properties in conservation areas
Our experts will help you gain planning permission by providing knowledgeable and independent advice. Planning permission can take up to 8 weeks to be approved, so it’s important to get it right first time. Having an expert on your side will avoid planning permission being denied and may speed up the process significantly.
The specialist architects at Origin Leisure have years of experience in gaining planning permission for swimming pool installations. We are up to date with the latest regulations and will speak directly to your Local Authority Planning and Building Control Departments to gain permission on your behalf. Our designers and architects create the building scheme with a expert working knowledge of the construction process and the importance of which building materials can be used in this specialised environment.
