Frequently Asked Questions

Do permitted development rights expire?

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

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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

How close can I build to my neighbour’s boundary?

Extensions built close to a boundary must meet height and eaves restrictions, especially if within two metres of the boundary.

Can I convert my loft and add a dormer?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

Wraparound extensions often exceed permitted development limits and usually require planning approval.
