Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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

Does permitted development apply to HMOs?

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

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

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

Are garden rooms permitted development?

Garden rooms may qualify if they meet size and usage limits and are not used as separate accommodation.

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

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