Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert my loft and add a dormer?

Dormer loft conversions are often permitted development within volume limits.

Can I extend onto agricultural land?

Residential permitted development rights apply only within the residential curtilage.

Are there restrictions on side-facing windows?

Yes. Upper-floor side-facing windows typically must be obscure-glazed and non-opening below a certain height.

Are garden rooms permitted development?

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

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 build right up to my boundary?

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