When Planning
Permission is Required
Not all home extensions require planning permission. You may need permission if:
The extension exceeds specific size limits under Permitted Development Rights.
Your home is located in a conservation area or is a listed building.
The extension will significantly alter the appearance or height of your property.
You’re building close to a boundary, affecting neighbours or privacy.
You plan to use the space for non-residential purposes. We assess your property and extension plans to determine if permission is required.
