House Extension FAQs
What Are The Rules on House Extensions?
The 45-degree rule is measured both on the ground and from above. An addition shouldn’t be bigger than a line drawn 45 degrees from the centre of the nearest ground-floor window of a room that can be used in a building next door.
Can an extension be built on a boundary line?
With a party wall agreement, it is possible to build an extension on a shared wall with a neighbour. Keep in mind that you will need to get planning permission for your house extension.
How big can I build an extension without permission?
- Single-story back additions can be made as long as 4m on detached homes and 3m on other types of homes. With permission, this can go up to 8m and 6m, respectively.
- Double-story rear extensions can go up to 3m from the original house as long as they are more than 7m from the back wall.
Can Neighbours object to an extension?
If a neighbour doesn’t like your extension, your local council can take that into account and look into it. But if the extension fits within the rules for “permitted development,” no one can make you: apply for planning permission, or change it or get rid of it.
Can I live in my house during an extension?
It is possible to live in the house while it is being added on, but besides the dust and mess, it may slow down the process as the builders try to work around your schedule.
