Frequently Asked Questions

Can I amend my plans after submission?

Minor amendments may be accepted during determination, depending on the council.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

It depends on height and location. Boundary proximity affects allowable eaves height.

Do permitted development rights expire?

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

What is a Lawful Development Certificate?

A Lawful Development Certificate provides formal confirmation from the local authority that your extension complies with permitted development rules.

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

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

Can I extend a listed building?

Listed buildings require listed building consent, even for minor works. Permitted development rights typically do not apply.
