Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can I extend my house in a flood zone?

Extensions in flood risk areas may require additional assessments and possibly planning permission.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

It depends on height and location. Boundary proximity affects allowable eaves height.

Can I amend my plans after submission?

Minor amendments may be accepted during determination, depending on the council.

How close can I build to my neighbour’s boundary?

Extensions built close to a boundary must meet height and eaves restrictions, especially if within two metres of the boundary.

Do I need drawings for a Lawful Development Certificate?

Yes. Accurate scaled drawings are required to demonstrate compliance.
