Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build an outbuilding in my garden?

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

Is there a limit on total site coverage?

Yes. Extensions and outbuildings combined must not cover more than 50% of the curtilage of the original house.

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.

Do permitted development rights expire?

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

What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?

Planning permission controls development impact, while building regulations ensure structural safety and compliance.

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.
