Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

Possibly, but this often requires planning permission and must comply with height and design considerations.

How much does a planning application cost?

Fees vary depending on project type and local authority charges.

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.

What happens if permitted development rights have been removed?

If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

Can I convert my loft and add a dormer?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.
