Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build a two-storey extension without planning permission?

Two-storey extensions are sometimes permitted, but stricter limits apply to height, rear projection distance, and window placement to avoid overlooking neighbours.

Will neighbours be notified?

Under prior approval procedures or planning applications, neighbours are typically notified.

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 appeal a planning refusal?

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

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.

Do I need prior approval for a larger extension?

In some cases, larger home extensions require a prior approval process where neighbours are notified and the council assesses certain impacts.
