Frequently Asked Questions

How high can my extension be?

Height limits vary, but rear extensions under permitted development generally cannot exceed four metres for detached houses or three metres for others.

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

Permitted development limits are cumulative, so previous extensions may reduce what is still allowed.

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

Internal changes usually do not require planning permission unless the property is listed.

How long does a Lawful Development Certificate take?

Most councils determine applications within eight weeks, though timescales may vary.

Can I convert my garage into living space?

Garage conversions are often permitted development, but planning restrictions may apply depending on conditions attached to the original approval.

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

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