Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add bi-fold doors to my extension?

Yes, provided the extension itself complies with permitted development rules and glazing requirements meet building regulations standards.

Are basements covered by permitted development?

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

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.

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 build right up to my boundary?

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