Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 45-degree rule?

The 45-degree rule is a guideline used by some councils to assess impact on neighbouring properties, particularly in relation to light and outlook.

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

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.

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.

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Can I add bi-fold doors to my extension?

Yes, provided the extension itself complies with permitted development rules and glazing requirements meet building regulations standards.
