Frequently Asked Questions

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

Internal changes usually do not require planning permission unless the property is listed.

What is the maximum size allowed under permitted development?

Size limits depend on property type and location. Detached houses may have larger rear extensions than terraced homes, subject to height and boundary constraints.

How close can I build to my neighbour’s boundary?

Extensions built close to a boundary must meet height and eaves restrictions, especially if within two metres of the boundary.

Can I amend my plans after submission?

Minor amendments may be accepted during determination, depending on the council.

How high can my extension be?

Height limits vary, but rear extensions under permitted development generally cannot exceed four metres for detached houses or three metres for others.

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.
