Our story
Planning made simple

Most extensions don't need full planning permission.

Single-storey rear extensions usually fall under Permitted Development — up to 4m deep on a detached house, or 3m on a semi or terrace — with no planning application at all.

Want to go further? The Larger Home Extension scheme lets you build up to 6m (semi/terraced) or 8m (detached) deep with a simple prior-approval application — still without full planning. We handle it for you.
