Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit planning drawings myself?

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

Can I install rooflights under permitted development?

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

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.

What happens if permitted development rights have been removed?

If rights have been removed by planning condition or Article 4 Direction, you will likely need to submit a full planning application before building.

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

Outbuildings may be permitted development if they meet height, location, and usage restrictions.

What is the maximum rear projection allowed?

Detached houses may extend up to four metres under standard rules, or eight metres with prior approval. Smaller limits apply to other house types.
