Frequently Asked Questions

How close can I build to my neighbour’s boundary?

Extensions built close to a boundary must meet height and eaves restrictions, especially if within two metres of the boundary.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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

How long does a Lawful Development Certificate take?

Most councils determine applications within eight weeks, though timescales may vary.

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

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

Do conservation areas affect permitted development rights?

Yes. Properties within conservation areas often have additional restrictions, and some permitted development rights may be limited or removed entirely.

Do I need drawings for a Lawful Development Certificate?

Yes. Accurate scaled drawings are required to demonstrate compliance.
