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.

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

Outbuildings may be permitted development if they meet height, location, and usage restrictions.

Is there a limit on total site coverage?

Yes. Extensions and outbuildings combined must not cover more than 50% of the curtilage of the original house.

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

Internal changes usually do not require planning permission unless the property is listed.

Will permitted development rules change?

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