Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a listed building?

Listed buildings require listed building consent, even for minor works. Permitted development rights typically do not apply.

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

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 Donnington?

Many rear extensions fall within permitted development limits, but projection depth, height, and boundary proximity must comply with national rules and any local restrictions.

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 onto agricultural land?

Residential permitted development rights apply only within the residential curtilage.
