Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

Can I appeal a planning refusal?

Yes. Applicants may appeal to the Planning Inspectorate within specified time limits.

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.

Does an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

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

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

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

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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