Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

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

How is the original house defined for measurement purposes?

The “original house” refers to the property as it stood on 1 July 1948 or when it was first built, not including later extensions.

Can I add a balcony to my extension?

Balconies and raised platforms are not permitted development and usually require planning permission.

What is retrospective planning permission?

Retrospective applications seek approval for work already carried out.

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.

Can I build over a sewer?

Building near or over a public sewer may require a build-over agreement from the relevant water authority.
