Frequently Asked Questions

Are garden rooms permitted development?

Garden rooms may qualify if they meet size and usage limits and are not used as separate accommodation.

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.

Will neighbours be notified?

Under prior approval procedures or planning applications, neighbours are typically notified.

Are there restrictions on side-facing windows?

Are basements covered by permitted development?

Basement development may require planning permission, especially if it alters the external appearance.

Is planning permission needed for internal alterations?

Internal changes usually do not require planning permission unless the property is listed.
