Frequently Asked Questions

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

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

Can I remove a chimney without permission?

External alterations may require permission depending on property type and location.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

It depends on height and location. Boundary proximity affects allowable eaves height.

Does permitted development apply to new-build homes?

Some new-build homes have permitted development rights removed by planning condition.

Does my extension need to match existing materials?

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