Planning Permission
Some extension plans do not require planning permission. It doesn’t matter what the situation is. Every homeowner should be aware that it isn’t difficult to get a planning permit if one is required. Our clients are advised to check if the rules and regulations in this area are met. A permit is necessary to avoid a collision with authorities. The extension of a building is permitted as long as it meets the conditions and limitations set out in the guideline list. You will not be granted extension permission if you exceed the limits.
Design Approval
You must design the extension when you apply for a building permit and adhere to the existing building’s dimensions. It is vital that you stay within the dimensions of your existing house to avoid having your design rejected. You will also get approval if you follow the rules and regulations.
Materials Used
Regulation demands that you pay attention to the materials used in building an extension. It may differ and be unique for each house owner, depending on their plans and preferences. To be safe, it’s important that you use materials similar to the ones on the original structure. Maintain the original character and appearance of your home.

The Impact
You must consider the impact of the proposed building extension on your neighbours when weighing the rules and regulations. Consider the effect that the project will have on them. The development should not have an adverse impact on the property, such as privacy loss or overshadowing.
Inspection
Inspection by an official from the authority responsible for enforcing rules and regulations is the final requirement. If you follow the rules, your extension will be approved quickly. It is important to make sure that all safety measures are in place.
