Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

What is prior approval neighbour consultation?

For larger extensions, councils notify neighbours and assess specific impacts before granting prior approval.

What happens if I build without permission?

The council may take enforcement action requiring alterations or removal of unauthorised works.

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

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

What happens if permitted development rights have been removed?

If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?
