Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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

Does permitted development apply to HMOs?

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

Do I need structural calculations?

Yes, building regulations often require structural calculations for beams, foundations, and load-bearing elements.

What is the maximum rear projection allowed?

Detached houses may extend up to four metres under standard rules, or eight metres with prior approval. Smaller limits apply to other house types.

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Balconies and raised platforms are not permitted development and usually require planning permission.
