I do know that any extension to the home which is permanent in nature would require the approvals of the relevant authorities. Though I must confess that I do not know the actual provisions of the relevant laws or guidelines.

But, there have been talks/questions amongst my neighbours on my street regarding on whether an approval is required on additional structures which are non permanent (such as pergolas, awnings etc) as well as for other structures which not connected/linked to the actual houses (such as gazebos/pondok wakaf, garden or tool sheds etc).

Can anyone who is familiar or those with legal background shed some light on this please?

Thanks
