Planning rules, minus the planning speak.
The questions homeowners actually ask, answered properly. What you can build, what needs permission, and what quietly takes those rights away.
Do I need permission for a rear extension?
Depth limits, the 50 percent rule, and the things that quietly remove your permitted development rights.
Do I need permission for a loft conversion?
Volume allowances, why front dormers almost always need permission, and what changes in a conservation area.
Is my house listed?
How to check, what listing actually protects, and why the inside matters just as much as the outside.
What conservation area rules really mean
The rights you lose the day an area is designated, Article 4 directions, and how applications get judged.
Do I need permission for a garden office?
The height limit that catches almost everyone, and the use restriction that turns a garden room into a problem.
How much does planning permission cost?
What each application type costs, where the real money actually goes, and the free go rule most people miss.
These are the general rules. Your address is the specific one.
Two houses on the same street can have completely different answers. casaQ checks yours against listed building, conservation area and flood data, then tells you where you stand.
