Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a planning application cost?

Fees vary depending on project type and local authority charges.

Can I build right up to my boundary?

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

What happens if I build without permission?

The council may take enforcement action requiring alterations or removal of unauthorised works.

How close can I build to my neighbour’s boundary?

Extensions built close to a boundary must meet height and eaves restrictions, especially if within two metres of the boundary.

How high can my extension be?

Height limits vary, but rear extensions under permitted development generally cannot exceed four metres for detached houses or three metres for others.

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.
