Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

Outbuildings may be permitted development if they meet height, location, and usage restrictions.

Do I need prior approval for a larger extension?

In some cases, larger home extensions require a prior approval process where neighbours are notified and the council assesses certain impacts.

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

Wraparound extensions often exceed permitted development limits and usually require planning approval.

What measurements are used for height?

Height is typically measured from the highest ground level adjacent to the building.

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.
