Frequently Asked Questions

Can I amend my plans after submission?

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

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.

Will permitted development rules change?

Planning legislation can change over time, so it is important to check current regulations.

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Salford?

Many rear extensions fall within permitted development limits, but projection depth, height, and boundary proximity must comply with national rules and any local restrictions.

Does an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

Yes. Article 4 Directions remove certain permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may be required.
