Frequently Asked Questions

Will neighbours be notified?

Under prior approval procedures or planning applications, neighbours are typically notified.

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 I need drawings for a Lawful Development Certificate?

Yes. Accurate scaled drawings are required to demonstrate compliance.

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

Permitted development limits are cumulative, so previous extensions may reduce what is still allowed.

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

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