Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

Wraparound extensions often exceed permitted development limits and usually require planning approval.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Many loft conversions are permitted development, but dormer size, roof alterations, and conservation area status may affect eligibility.

Will neighbours be notified?

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

Can I build over a sewer?

Building near or over a public sewer may require a build-over agreement from the relevant water authority.
