Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

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

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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

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 happens if I build without permission?

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

Are basements covered by permitted development?

Basement development may require planning permission, especially if it alters the external appearance.

Are side extensions allowed under permitted development?

Side extensions are permitted in some cases, but must not exceed half the width of the original house and must meet height limits.
