Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert my loft and add a dormer?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.

Can I extend in a National Park?

National Parks have stricter controls and reduced permitted development rights.

What is the maximum size allowed under permitted development?

Size limits depend on property type and location. Detached houses may have larger rear extensions than terraced homes, subject to height and boundary constraints.

Will permitted development rules change?

Planning legislation can change over time, so it is important to check current regulations.

Can I extend my house in a flood zone?

Extensions in flood risk areas may require additional assessments and possibly planning permission.

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

Possibly, but this often requires planning permission and must comply with height and design considerations.
