Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Is there a limit on total site coverage?

Yes. Extensions and outbuildings combined must not cover more than 50% of the curtilage of the original house.

How long does a Lawful Development Certificate take?

Most councils determine applications within eight weeks, though timescales may vary.

Can I appeal a planning refusal?

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

How high can my extension be?

Height limits vary, but rear extensions under permitted development generally cannot exceed four metres for detached houses or three metres for others.

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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