Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Worksop?

Many rear extensions fall within permitted development limits, but projection depth, height, and boundary proximity must comply with national rules and any local restrictions.

Do permitted development rights expire?

Permitted development rights generally remain unless removed by condition or Article 4 Direction.

What happens if permitted development rights have been removed?

If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

Yes, but professional plans improve clarity and reduce refusal risk.

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Balconies and raised platforms are not permitted development and usually require planning permission.

Can I extend a semi-detached house differently to a detached house?

Yes, size limits and projection distances differ depending on property type.
