Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Balconies and raised platforms are not permitted development and usually require planning permission.

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.

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 right up to my boundary?

It depends on height and location. Boundary proximity affects allowable eaves height.

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.
