Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

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

Can I appeal a planning refusal?

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