Frequently Asked Questions

Does permitted development apply to new-build homes?

Some new-build homes have permitted development rights removed by planning condition.

How much does a planning application cost?

Fees vary depending on project type and local authority charges.

Can I convert my loft and add a dormer?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

Permitted development limits are cumulative, so previous extensions may reduce what is still allowed.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Burnham?

Many rear extensions fall within permitted development limits, but projection depth, height, and boundary proximity must comply with national rules and any local restrictions.
