Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need drawings for a Lawful Development Certificate?

Yes. Accurate scaled drawings are required to demonstrate compliance.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

Flats and maisonettes generally do not benefit from permitted development rights for extensions.

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

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

Can I extend above a single-storey extension?

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

Do permitted development rights expire?

Permitted development rights generally remain unless removed by condition or Article 4 Direction.
