Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a listed building?

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

Can I appeal a planning refusal?

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

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.

What happens if permitted development rights have been removed?

If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

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

How is the original house defined for measurement purposes?

The “original house” refers to the property as it stood on 1 July 1948 or when it was first built, not including later extensions.
