This guidance document provides information about notifying a local planning authority of a proposed larger single-storey rear home extension under permitted development rights. It explains that homeowners can now build larger rear extensions of up to 8 meters for detached homes and 6 meters for other home types without needing full planning permission, but must first notify the local authority and neighbours. It outlines the notification process, including providing plans and descriptions of the proposal, neighbours' right to comment, and the local authority's considerations and potential response within 42 days.
