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

Can I extend a house that has already been extended?

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

Can I extend onto agricultural land?

Residential permitted development rights apply only within the residential curtilage.

What is a Lawful Development Certificate?

A Lawful Development Certificate provides formal confirmation from the local authority that your extension complies with permitted development rules.

Some permitted development rights may be restricted depending on property use class.
