Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build right up to my boundary?

It depends on height and location. Boundary proximity affects allowable eaves height.

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

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

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 appeal a planning refusal?

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

What is the maximum rear projection allowed?

Detached houses may extend up to four metres under standard rules, or eight metres with prior approval. Smaller limits apply to other house types.
