Does this type of extension need special permissions from council?

Rohan Hegde

I live in a mid terraced house with neighbours on either side just like in this image. If I were to get an extension like this, would this need permission of some sort from the council and the neighbours? As I am aware that extensions are not meant to block out light to the neighbours windows as per building regulations...

    @ Rohan Hegde : Yes of course you need a permission, if you own the whole property its a householder permission or you can benefit from permitted development but still need to apply for it on paper, or if you just own the ground floor flat, you need a full planning permission and ask your fellow freeholders.

    Let me know if you need more details or assistance.

    What's living in flats got to do with this question?

    Permitted development needs building regs, but not planning permission.

    Looks great, good luck!

    @ Justin Eames : You need a Lawful Certificate to have your permitted development rights confirmed on paper. All building work need building regulations approval by the way.
