Make the most of your surprisngly wide "permitted development" rights to maximise red tape. you can build a decent -sized rear extension, conservatory and even a basement extension without planning permission, although you must comply with Building Regulations. Be very sure of your ground before you break ground.
The Government's newly proposed Perm...
itted Development Rights will make it easier for homeowners to install conservatories and ground-floor extensions without planning permission. If, after consultation, the proposals go ahead at the end of this year. It could mean that for a limited period, possibly two to three years, full planning permission will be needed only for extensions that extend more than 6m from the wall of a terraced house (currently it is 3m) or 8m beyond a detached house (it is now 4m). But permission will still be needed in conservation areas for listed homes.
