It used to take months to get the planning permission for an extension. But, as long as your property is a house (as opposed to a flat, apartment, maisonette etc.), you don’t need to apply for an extension. As long as the extension is less than eight metres for a detached house or six metres for a semi/terraced house, then you’re automatically approved.

So, it’s now easier than ever to have that extra living space you always wanted. Connect the inside of your house to the outside with a gorgeous extension into the back garden with bifold doors, or create that new dedicated workspace so you can work remotely.
