Do I need to apply for planning permission to build an extension to my house?

A planning application may or may not be required, depending on the size, position and location of the proposed extension and any previous extensions.

We recommend that you fill out a Householders Enquiry form and post it to the Council. We will then advise you in writing whether you need planning permission, or other consents, for your proposal.

Building Regulations approval is usually required for extensions.
