Frequently Asked Questions

Will neighbours be notified?

Under prior approval procedures or planning applications, neighbours are typically notified.

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.

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 is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

Is there a limit on total site coverage?

Yes. Extensions and outbuildings combined must not cover more than 50% of the curtilage of the original house.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.
