Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 45-degree rule?

The 45-degree rule is a guideline used by some councils to assess impact on neighbouring properties, particularly in relation to light and outlook.

Can I remove a chimney without permission?

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

Can I appeal a planning refusal?

Yes. Applicants may appeal to the Planning Inspectorate within specified time limits.

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 house that has already been extended?

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

Do conservation areas affect permitted development rights?

Yes. Properties within conservation areas often have additional restrictions, and some permitted development rights may be limited or removed entirely.
