Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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

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 convert my garage into living space?

Garage conversions are often permitted development, but planning restrictions may apply depending on conditions attached to the original approval.

What measurements are used for height?

Height is typically measured from the highest ground level adjacent to the building.

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

Rooflights are often permitted if they do not protrude significantly beyond the roof slope.

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