Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

How is the original house defined for measurement purposes?

The “original house” refers to the property as it stood on 1 July 1948 or when it was first built, not including later extensions.

Can I extend a listed building?

Outbuildings may be permitted development if they meet height, location, and usage restrictions.

Does permitted development apply to HMOs?

Some permitted development rights may be restricted depending on property use class.
