Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend my house in a flood zone?

Extensions in flood risk areas may require additional assessments and possibly planning permission.

Can I extend a listed building?

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

Will neighbours be notified?

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

Do conservation areas affect permitted development rights?

Yes. Properties within conservation areas often have additional restrictions, and some permitted development rights may be limited or removed entirely.

Can I remove a chimney without permission?

External alterations may require permission depending on property type and location.

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

Internal changes usually do not require planning permission unless the property is listed.
