Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

Flats and maisonettes generally do not benefit from permitted development rights for extensions.

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.

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 a listed building?

Listed buildings require listed building consent, even for minor works. Permitted development rights typically do not apply.

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.

Will permitted development rules change?

Planning legislation can change over time, so it is important to check current regulations.
