Frequently Asked Questions

Does my extension need to match existing materials?

While not always mandatory under permitted development, matching materials is often recommended for visual consistency.

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

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

Can I extend a listed building?

Listed buildings require listed building consent, even for minor works. Permitted development rights typically do not apply.

Do conservation areas affect permitted development rights?

Yes. Properties within conservation areas often have additional restrictions, and some permitted development rights may be limited or removed entirely.

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

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

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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