Frequently Asked Questions

What measurements are used for height?

Height is typically measured from the highest ground level adjacent to the building.

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Can I convert my garage into living space?

Garage conversions are often permitted development, but planning restrictions may apply depending on conditions attached to the original approval.

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.

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

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

Do I need structural calculations?

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