Frequently Asked Questions

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 add bi-fold doors to my extension?

Yes, provided the extension itself complies with permitted development rules and glazing requirements meet building regulations standards.

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 a two-storey extension without planning permission?

Two-storey extensions are sometimes permitted, but stricter limits apply to height, rear projection distance, and window placement to avoid overlooking neighbours.

Does building regulations approval still apply?

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

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

Yes, but professional plans improve clarity and reduce refusal risk.
