Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build over a sewer?

Building near or over a public sewer may require a build-over agreement from the relevant water authority.

Can I build a wraparound extension without planning permission?

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

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.

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 an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

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

Do permitted development rights expire?

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