Frequently Asked Questions

Does my extension need to match existing materials?

While not always mandatory under permitted development, matching materials is often recommended for visual consistency.

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 extend my house in a flood zone?

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

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 extend a listed building?

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

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

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