Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build right up to my boundary?

It depends on height and location. Boundary proximity affects allowable eaves height.

Are there restrictions on side-facing windows?

Yes. Upper-floor side-facing windows typically must be obscure-glazed and non-opening below a certain height.

Are garden rooms permitted development?

Garden rooms may qualify if they meet size and usage limits and are not used as separate accommodation.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.

What is prior approval neighbour consultation?

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

Can I amend my plans after submission?

Minor amendments may be accepted during determination, depending on the council.
