Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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

Are side extensions allowed under permitted development?

Side extensions are permitted in some cases, but must not exceed half the width of the original house and must meet height limits.

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.

Can I extend onto agricultural land?

Residential permitted development rights apply only within the residential curtilage.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.

Does building regulations approval still apply?

Yes. Even if planning permission is not required, building regulations approval is usually still necessary.
