Frequently Asked Questions

Are garden rooms permitted development?

Garden rooms may qualify if they meet size and usage limits and are not used as separate accommodation.

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

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

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

Internal changes usually do not require planning permission unless the property is listed.

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.

Are there restrictions on side-facing windows?

Yes. Upper-floor side-facing windows typically must be obscure-glazed and non-opening below a certain height.

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.
