Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

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

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

Internal changes usually do not require planning permission unless the property is listed.

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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

Do I need prior approval for a larger extension?

In some cases, larger home extensions require a prior approval process where neighbours are notified and the council assesses certain impacts.

What is the maximum size allowed under permitted development?

Size limits depend on property type and location. Detached houses may have larger rear extensions than terraced homes, subject to height and boundary constraints.
