Frequently Asked Questions

While not always mandatory under permitted development, matching materials is often recommended for visual consistency.

Can I remove a chimney without permission?

External alterations may require permission depending on property type and location.

Are side extensions allowed under permitted development?

Side extensions are permitted in some cases, but must not exceed half the width of the original house and must meet height limits.

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

Internal changes usually do not require planning permission unless the property is listed.
