Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior approval for a larger extension?

In some cases, larger home extensions require a prior approval process where neighbours are notified and the council assesses certain impacts.

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.

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.

Can I extend a semi-detached house differently to a detached house?

Yes, size limits and projection distances differ depending on property type.

Are side extensions allowed under permitted development?

Side extensions are permitted in some cases, but must not exceed half the width of the original house and must meet height limits.

How high can my extension be?

Height limits vary, but rear extensions under permitted development generally cannot exceed four metres for detached houses or three metres for others.
