What is not allowed under permitted development?

Permitted development rights don’t cover every type of building work. If your plans involve a new-build house or the creation of new dwellings by subdividing an existing property, these rights likely won’t apply. Additionally, the following types of work usually fall outside permitted development:

 

• Building a front extension
• Constructing raised platforms
• Adding verandas or balconies
• Extensions that cover more than 50% of the land surrounding the original house.

It’s also important to note that permitted development rights do not apply to leasehold properties such as flats and maisonettes, or to listed buildings.
