Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

Permitted development limits are cumulative, so previous extensions may reduce what is still allowed.

Are basements covered by permitted development?

Basement development may require planning permission, especially if it alters the external appearance.

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

Yes, but professional plans improve clarity and reduce refusal risk.

Are garden rooms permitted development?

Garden rooms may qualify if they meet size and usage limits and are not used as separate accommodation.

Does building regulations approval still apply?

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

Can I convert my loft and add a dormer?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.
