Frequently Asked Questions

Does building regulations approval still apply?

Yes. Even if planning permission is not required, building regulations approval is usually still necessary.

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

Flats and maisonettes generally do not benefit from permitted development rights for extensions.

Do I need prior approval for a larger extension?

In some cases, larger home extensions require a prior approval process where neighbours are notified and the council assesses certain impacts.

Can I extend my house in a flood zone?

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

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.

What is the maximum size allowed under permitted development?
