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

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.

Can I amend my plans after submission?

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

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

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