Frequently Asked Questions

How high can my extension be?

Height limits vary, but rear extensions under permitted development generally cannot exceed four metres for detached houses or three metres for others.

Does an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

Yes. Article 4 Directions remove certain permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may be required.

Do conservation areas affect permitted development rights?

Yes. Properties within conservation areas often have additional restrictions, and some permitted development rights may be limited or removed entirely.

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

Flats and maisonettes generally do not benefit from permitted development rights for extensions.

What is the maximum size allowed under permitted development?

Size limits depend on property type and location. Detached houses may have larger rear extensions than terraced homes, subject to height and boundary constraints.

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

Outbuildings may be permitted development if they meet height, location, and usage restrictions.
