Frequently Asked Questions

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 a house that has already been extended?

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

What is the maximum rear projection allowed?

Detached houses may extend up to four metres under standard rules, or eight metres with prior approval. Smaller limits apply to other house types.

Do permitted development rights expire?

Permitted development rights generally remain unless removed by condition or Article 4 Direction.

Can I convert my garage into living space?

Garage conversions are often permitted development, but planning restrictions may apply depending on conditions attached to the original approval.

Does my extension need to match existing materials?

While not always mandatory under permitted development, matching materials is often recommended for visual consistency.
