Frequently Asked Questions

Are basements covered by permitted development?

Basement development may require planning permission, especially if it alters the external appearance.

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

Wraparound extensions often exceed permitted development limits and usually require planning approval.

Does permitted development apply to HMOs?

Some permitted development rights may be restricted depending on property use class.

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 extend a house that has already been extended?

Permitted development limits are cumulative, so previous extensions may reduce what is still allowed.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.
