Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend my house in a flood zone?

Extensions in flood risk areas may require additional assessments and possibly planning permission.

How is the original house defined for measurement purposes?

The “original house” refers to the property as it stood on 1 July 1948 or when it was first built, not including later extensions.

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Balconies and raised platforms are not permitted development and usually require planning permission.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Many loft conversions are permitted development, but dormer size, roof alterations, and conservation area status may affect eligibility.

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

Rooflights are often permitted if they do not protrude significantly beyond the roof slope.

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

Possibly, but this often requires planning permission and must comply with height and design considerations.
