Frequently asked questions

Ask a question

Many single-storey rear extensions fall within permitted development rights and do not require a full planning application. However, permitted development limits depend on the size, location and type of property. LateShield can advise on whether planning permission is likely to be required for your specific project.

Planning permission controls whether a development is acceptable in principle. Building Regulations ensure the construction meets technical standards for structure, fire safety, insulation and other requirements. Most extensions require Building Regulations approval even if planning permission is not needed.

Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, planning requirements and contractor availability. A straightforward single-storey rear extension might take four to six months from initial design to completion. LateShield will prepare a realistic programme at the outset.

Structural calculations are undertaken by suitably qualified and insured structural engineers under a separate written appointment. LateShield coordinates the process and ensures the information is provided to Building Control at the right stage.
