Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a listed building?

Listed buildings require listed building consent, even for minor works. Permitted development rights typically do not apply.

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

Outbuildings may be permitted development if they meet height, location, and usage restrictions.

What is the 45-degree rule?

The 45-degree rule is a guideline used by some councils to assess impact on neighbouring properties, particularly in relation to light and outlook.

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 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.

Does an Article 4 Direction affect my extension plans?

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