Frequently Asked Questions

What is prior approval neighbour consultation?

For larger extensions, councils notify neighbours and assess specific impacts before granting prior approval.

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

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

What happens if I build without permission?

The council may take enforcement action requiring alterations or removal of unauthorised works.

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 extend a listed building?

Listed buildings require listed building consent, even for minor works. Permitted development rights typically do not apply.

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.
