Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need drawings for a Lawful Development Certificate?

Yes. Accurate scaled drawings are required to demonstrate compliance.

Are basements covered by permitted development?

Basement development may require planning permission, especially if it alters the external appearance.

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.

Does an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

Yes. Article 4 Directions remove certain permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may be required.

Does permitted development apply to new-build homes?

Some new-build homes have permitted development rights removed by planning condition.

Will neighbours be notified?

Under prior approval procedures or planning applications, neighbours are typically notified.
