Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

Flats and maisonettes generally do not benefit from permitted development rights for extensions.

What is a Lawful Development Certificate?

A Lawful Development Certificate provides formal confirmation from the local authority that your extension complies with permitted development rules.

Does permitted development apply to new-build homes?

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

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

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

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Does an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

Yes. Article 4 Directions remove certain permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may be required.
