Frequently Asked Questions

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 Finchampstead?

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.

Does an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

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

Will permitted development rules change?

Planning legislation can change over time, so it is important to check current regulations.

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.
