Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Balconies and raised platforms are not permitted development and usually require planning permission.

Can I extend my house in a flood zone?

Extensions in flood risk areas may require additional assessments and possibly planning permission.

Will permitted development rules change?

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

Can I build right up to my boundary?

It depends on height and location. Boundary proximity affects allowable eaves height.

How close can I build to my neighbour’s boundary?

Extensions built close to a boundary must meet height and eaves restrictions, especially if within two metres of the boundary.

Does permitted development apply to new-build homes?

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