Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

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

Can I extend onto agricultural land?

Residential permitted development rights apply only within the residential curtilage.

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

Possibly, but this often requires planning permission and must comply with height and design considerations.

Are basements covered by permitted development?

Basement development may require planning permission, especially if it alters the external appearance.

Does building regulations approval still apply?

Yes. Even if planning permission is not required, building regulations approval is usually still necessary.

Do I need structural calculations?

Yes, building regulations often require structural calculations for beams, foundations, and load-bearing elements.
