Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I build without permission?

The council may take enforcement action requiring alterations or removal of unauthorised works.

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

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

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

Possibly, but this often requires planning permission and must comply with height and design considerations.

Can I extend my house in a flood zone?

Extensions in flood risk areas may require additional assessments and possibly planning permission.

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.

Are side extensions allowed under permitted development?

Side extensions are permitted in some cases, but must not exceed half the width of the original house and must meet height limits.
