Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

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.

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

Rooflights are often permitted if they do not protrude significantly beyond the roof slope.

Do conservation areas affect permitted development rights?

Yes. Properties within conservation areas often have additional restrictions, and some permitted development rights may be limited or removed entirely.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Many loft conversions are permitted development, but dormer size, roof alterations, and conservation area status may affect eligibility.
