Frequently Asked Questions

Does permitted development apply to new-build homes?

Some new-build homes have permitted development rights removed by planning condition.

Can I appeal a planning refusal?

Yes. Applicants may appeal to the Planning Inspectorate within specified time limits.

Can I extend a listed building?

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

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Are basements covered by permitted development?

Basement development may require planning permission, especially if it alters the external appearance.

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

Permitted development limits are cumulative, so previous extensions may reduce what is still allowed.
