Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Lawful Development Certificate?

A Lawful Development Certificate provides formal confirmation from the local authority that your extension complies with permitted development rules.

What is the 45-degree rule?

The 45-degree rule is a guideline used by some councils to assess impact on neighbouring properties, particularly in relation to light and outlook.

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

What happens if permitted development rights have been removed?

If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

Can I extend a listed building?

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

What happens if I build without permission?

The council may take enforcement action requiring alterations or removal of unauthorised works.
