Frequently Asked Questions

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.

Do conservation areas affect permitted development rights?

Yes. Properties within conservation areas often have additional restrictions, and some permitted development rights may be limited or removed entirely.

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Balconies and raised platforms are not permitted development and usually require planning permission.

Are garden rooms permitted development?

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

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.
