Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Burghfield Common?

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 extend a flat under permitted development?

Flats and maisonettes generally do not benefit from permitted development rights for extensions.

Can I convert my loft and add a dormer?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.

Can I build over a sewer?

Building near or over a public sewer may require a build-over agreement from the relevant water authority.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.
