Planning in Doncaster
City of Doncaster Council is the planning authority. Most decking needs no planning application if it is no more than 30 cm above the ground and, with other extensions and buildings, covers no more than half the garden.
Raised decks, verandas, listed buildings and conservation areas need more care.
Flat gardens and flood risk
Doncaster gardens are often flat, which keeps decking costs down. But parts of the borough near the Don and its tributaries are low-lying and have flooded in recent years.
In a flood risk area, ask for a frame lifted clear of the ground with space for air and water to move underneath, and keep within the 30 cm planning limit.

Fitted composite decking typically costs £100 to £200 per square metre. Try the decking cost calculator.
Do I need planning permission for decking in Doncaster?
Usually not, if it is no more than 30 cm above the ground. Read our planning guide for decking.
Is decking a good idea in a flood risk area?
It can be, with a frame lifted clear of the ground and good drainage underneath. Composite boards cope with damp better than timber.
