Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend a listed building?

Listed buildings require listed building consent, even for minor works. Permitted development rights typically do not apply.

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.

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

Rooflights are often permitted if they do not protrude significantly beyond the roof slope.

Can I build over a sewer?

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

Can I extend a flat under permitted development?

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

Do I need structural calculations?

Yes, building regulations often require structural calculations for beams, foundations, and load-bearing elements.
