Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all.
I’ve been quiet on FB this year but still very busy with design, drawing and planning applications. Ready for another busy year in 2025 😊

A question I am often asked for semi- detached and terraced houses:

Q: Can I build an extension without planning that will be the same width as my house?

A: The short answer is no. To build full-width without planning permission your extension side walls will need to be built on your property and not on the boundary wall (image 1)

In order to build on the boundary wall you will need consent from your neighbour(s) and will require planning permission. (image 2)
