What happens if permitted development rights have been removed?

If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

Do I need prior approval for a larger extension?

In some cases, larger home extensions require a prior approval process where neighbours are notified and the council assesses certain impacts.

Do I need structural calculations?

Yes, building regulations often require structural calculations for beams, foundations, and load-bearing elements.

Can I extend onto agricultural land?
