Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a limit on total site coverage?

Yes. Extensions and outbuildings combined must not cover more than 50% of the curtilage of the original house.

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 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.

Do permitted development rights expire?

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

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

Flats and maisonettes generally do not benefit from permitted development rights for extensions.

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

Rooflights are often permitted if they do not protrude significantly beyond the roof slope.
