What you could build
Homes like this often have permitted development rights for common projects — subject to checks:
Rear/single-storey extension
Single-storey rear extensions are often permitted within depth and height limits.
Side return / side extension
Side extensions are often possible on detached/bungalow plots within width limits.
Loft / dormer conversion
Loft conversions with rear dormers are often permitted within volume limits.
Outbuilding / garden room
Garden rooms/outbuildings are often permitted if single-storey and within size limits.
Garage conversion
Converting an attached garage to living space is often permitted development.
Porch
Small front porches are often permitted within floor-area and height limits.
Indicative only, based on property type. Permitted development rights are removed or restricted in conservation areas, by Article 4 directions, for listed buildings, and where rights have already been used. Always confirm with your local planning authority before starting any work.
