Frequently Asked Questions

Does an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

Yes. Article 4 Directions remove certain permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may be required.

Can I appeal a planning refusal?

Yes. Applicants may appeal to the Planning Inspectorate within specified time limits.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

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

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.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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