Frequently Asked Questions

Do permitted development rights expire?

Permitted development rights generally remain unless removed by condition or Article 4 Direction.

Do I need prior approval for a larger extension?

In some cases, larger home extensions require a prior approval process where neighbours are notified and the council assesses certain impacts.

How is the original house defined for measurement purposes?

The “original house” refers to the property as it stood on 1 July 1948 or when it was first built, not including later extensions.

Does permitted development apply to HMOs?

Some permitted development rights may be restricted depending on property use class.

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 extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.
