Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

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

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

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

Does my extension need to match existing materials?

While not always mandatory under permitted development, matching materials is often recommended for visual consistency.

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

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

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

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 in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.
