Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert my loft and add a dormer?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.

Is there a limit on total site coverage?

Yes. Extensions and outbuildings combined must not cover more than 50% of the curtilage of the original house.

What measurements are used for height?

Height is typically measured from the highest ground level adjacent to the building.

What is the maximum rear projection allowed?

Detached houses may extend up to four metres under standard rules, or eight metres with prior approval. Smaller limits apply to other house types.

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

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

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

Rooflights are often permitted if they do not protrude significantly beyond the roof slope.
