Before you get in touch
How to choose an architect in Jersey
Jersey has its own law on who can call themselves an architect, and its own planning system. A short guide to both, before you start a project.
Check they’re registered
“Architect” is a protected title in Jersey, under the island’s own Architects (Registration) (Jersey) Law 1954 (opens in a new tab) rather than the UK’s Architects Act. Nobody may practise under a name containing the word “architect” unless they are registered with the Royal Court, and that requires registration with the UK’s Architects Registration Board. You can search the ARB register (opens in a new tab) online.
“Chartered architect” means a chartered member of RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects: a professional membership on top of registration. The law protects the title, not the work, so architectural designers and planning consultants also draw plans and make applications, without calling themselves architects.
The Association of Jersey Architects
The Association of Jersey Architects (opens in a new tab) has brought the island’s architects together since 1961, and all its members are registered with the ARB. Its website lists its members.
How planning permission works
Applications go through the Government of Jersey’s Planning and Building portal (opens in a new tab). Most are decided by planning officers (opens in a new tab), and the rest by the Planning Committee, which meets in public each month. The target is 8 weeks for a minor application and 13 weeks for a major one, and the public has 21 days to comment.
Decisions are made against the Bridging Island Plan (opens in a new tab), adopted in 2022. Fees are published on gov.je, and the portal has a fee calculator. You submit first and are sent the fee once the application is validated.
Building bye-law permission is separate
Planning permission covers what you build and where. Building bye-law permission, under the Planning and Building (Jersey) Law 2002 (opens in a new tab), covers how: structure, fire safety and the like. An extension usually needs both. The only extensions that skip bye-law permission (opens in a new tab) are conservatories and covered areas under 20 square metres.
Some small jobs don’t need planning permission
The General Development Order (opens in a new tab) gives automatic planning permission for some minor work. A house can be extended by up to 30 square metres in total since 1 June 2007, for example, unless a planning condition has removed that right. The Order was last changed in April 2026, so check the current limits before you rely on them.
Listed buildings
Jersey lists buildings and places in four grades, with Jersey Heritage advising the Government. There’s no separate “listed building consent” as in England: work to a listed building needs a planning application with a heritage impact statement (opens in a new tab), made before work starts. Several of the practices above list historic buildings among their specialisms.

Questions
Common questions
Is “architect” a protected title in Jersey?
Yes. Under the Architects (Registration) (Jersey) Law 1954, nobody may practise under a name containing the word architect unless they are registered with the Royal Court, which requires registration with the UK Architects Registration Board.
Do I need an architect for a planning application in Jersey?
No law requires one. Jersey’s architects law protects the title, not the work, so architectural designers and planning consultants also prepare applications. An architect is worth considering for larger, complex or listed projects.
What’s the difference between planning permission and building bye-law permission?
Planning permission decides whether you can build something and what it looks like. Building bye-law permission checks it is built safely, covering things like structure and fire safety. Many projects, including most extensions, need both.
How long does a planning application take in Jersey?
The Government of Jersey’s target is 8 weeks for a minor application and 13 weeks for a major one. The public has 21 days to comment on an application.
Can I extend my house without planning permission in Jersey?
Sometimes. The General Development Order allows extensions of up to 30 square metres in total since 1 June 2007, unless a planning condition has removed that right. Building bye-law permission may still be needed, and the limits were last changed in April 2026, so check before you start.
Do I need listed building consent in Jersey?
Jersey has no separate listed building consent. Work to a listed building needs a planning application with a heritage impact statement before work starts.
