Frequently Asked Questions

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.

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.

Can I appeal a planning refusal?

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

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

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

Building near or over a public sewer may require a build-over agreement from the relevant water authority.
