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 happens if I build without permission?

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

Can I extend a listed building?

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

Can I build over a sewer?

Building near or over a public sewer may require a build-over agreement from the relevant water authority.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Many loft conversions are permitted development, but dormer size, roof alterations, and conservation area status may affect eligibility.

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

Possibly, but this often requires planning permission and must comply with height and design considerations.
