Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

Permitted development limits are cumulative, so previous extensions may reduce what is still allowed.

How much does a planning application cost?

Fees vary depending on project type and local authority charges.

Can I amend my plans after submission?

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

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.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

Rooflights are often permitted if they do not protrude significantly beyond the roof slope.
