Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

Wraparound extensions often exceed permitted development limits and usually require planning approval.

What happens if I build without permission?

The council may take enforcement action requiring alterations or removal of unauthorised works.

Will permitted development rules change?

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

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.

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 build right up to my boundary?

It depends on height and location. Boundary proximity affects allowable eaves height.
