How much does a planning application cost?

Fees vary depending on project type and local authority charges.

What is a Lawful Development Certificate?

A Lawful Development Certificate provides formal confirmation from the local authority that your extension complies with permitted development rules.

Does my extension need to match existing materials?

While not always mandatory under permitted development, matching materials is often recommended for visual consistency.

What measurements are used for height?

Height is typically measured from the highest ground level adjacent to the building.
