Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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

What is a Lawful Development Certificate?

A Lawful Development Certificate provides formal confirmation from the local authority that your extension complies with permitted development rules.

Are garden rooms permitted development?

Garden rooms may qualify if they meet size and usage limits and are not used as separate accommodation.

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Hillfields?

Many rear extensions fall within permitted development limits, but projection depth, height, and boundary proximity must comply with national rules and any local restrictions.

Can I build a two-storey extension without planning permission?

Two-storey extensions are sometimes permitted, but stricter limits apply to height, rear projection distance, and window placement to avoid overlooking neighbours.

Do I need drawings for a Lawful Development Certificate?

Yes. Accurate scaled drawings are required to demonstrate compliance.
