You may not always need planning permission for smaller extensions or alterations, as some projects can fall under permitted development rights.
That said, the rules are not always straightforward, especially for listed properties, homes in conservation areas, locations covered by Article 4 Directions, or when the chosen architectural design features contrasting materials. So it is always worth checking before you begin.
We are happy to review your property and advise whether permission or a Lawful Development Certificate is the right next step for your house extension:
