Frequently Asked Questions

Many loft conversions are permitted development, but dormer size, roof alterations, and conservation area status may affect eligibility.

What measurements are used for height?

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

Can I add bi-fold doors to my extension?

Yes, provided the extension itself complies with permitted development rules and glazing requirements meet building regulations standards.

How close can I build to my neighbour’s boundary?

Extensions built close to a boundary must meet height and eaves restrictions, especially if within two metres of the boundary.

Can I extend onto agricultural land?

Residential permitted development rights apply only within the residential curtilage.
