Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Do permitted development rights expire?

Permitted development rights generally remain unless removed by condition or Article 4 Direction.

Do I need structural calculations?

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

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

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.

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

Yes, but professional plans improve clarity and reduce refusal risk.
