Frequently Asked Questions

Does permitted development apply to HMOs?

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

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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

How close can I build to my neighbour’s boundary?

Extensions built close to a boundary must meet height and eaves restrictions, especially if within two metres of the boundary.

Will neighbours be notified?

Under prior approval procedures or planning applications, neighbours are typically notified.

Does building regulations approval still apply?

Yes. Even if planning permission is not required, building regulations approval is usually still necessary.

What happens if I build without permission?

The council may take enforcement action requiring alterations or removal of unauthorised works.
