The following is a summary of key points, though please use only as a general guide, the detail of what is and is not allowed can get fiendishly complex. Seek the advice of an architect that is used for residential work; he or she will be able to give you specific advice and further.

Do not forget other authorizations required
in many cases, what is possible by permitted development would be refused if the request under a development application, it can be much more than simply make the process simpler and more fast.
However, while PD can simplify the process, it is important not to confuse the planning consent, it can prevent other necessary requirements such as building regulations, the law of party wall and listed building consent, to name a few, which allowed the development will not replace. Always seek the advice of an expert before continuing.

l & E (Lofts and extensions)
Build a simple rear extension
the most common use is Permitted development for one floor, ground floor position on the back of a house. On a house, it can last up to 4m behind the rear wall, and a semi-detached or terraced up to 3m - even in conservation areas. He may have a highest pitched roof or flat as long as the point is not more than 4m from the floor (which is quite high) and eaves (where the gutter is) is more than 3 m ground level.
there are actually quite a few pedants limitations on what you can and can not do under PD and it is easy to inadvertently cross the mark and find yourself in trouble. Applying your planning department of a Lawful development certificate (LDC) in advance gives you a rubber stamp to say that what you do is within the limits. I always recommend looking for such a certificate before building anything and it will be an important document in the future if you want to sell.

aim high? permit application to build instead ...
It is important to emphasize that if what you offer is outside these limits, it may be perfectly possible to build anyway - it is just that you have to go through the process of a full planning application before knowing whether or not it will be allowed.
The extension, which I think looks fantastic, would have required a full planning application because it is too high from the ground to have been authorized by the PD process. However, in this case I would say it was very useful to the extra time and trouble.

... but the development authorized let you go
the planning approval process has long been blamed for holding the growing construction industry, and government and central local authorities often fought legal battles over politics and control.
The authorization planning policy is set by local authorities, while permitted development rules are set by the central government.
In the depths of the recession, as an attempt to stimulate the construction industry, the government temporarily extended the legislation to double the limit of 4m to 8m and a maximum of 3m to 6m. However, if you go for the extra size, a "neighbor consultation process" was introduced to try to protect the amenities of neighbors. Once it is deleted may be constructed under PD extensions. The temporary legislation is due to run out in 2016, but it was very popular and was expanded in 2019.

Consider two stages
in certain circumstances, back extensions on two floors are also permitted by PD. For extensions of two floors limits are more stringent - no more than 3m back from the rear wall and no part of the extension may be less than 2 m from a (which excludes smaller, terraced and semi-detached houses).
This part of the PD allowance is also excluded for homes in conservation zones.
The maximum heights are significantly higher than for extensions on one level, but it must not be higher than the eaves (gutter -line) of the original house.

opt for a bit on the side
lateral extensions can also enter the allocation of PD. An important rule of thumb here is that they can extend laterally as far as half the width of the original home again. lateral extensions under PD can only be one level and are completely excluded for homes in conservation zones.
With all the PD-license extensions mentioned so far, forget those old "Volume calculations" which are not applied because the rules have all changed in 08. Before that, all your allowed development of extensions (side, roof, rear, etc.) could not exceed a total sum and many people still think that applies, but do not worry, this rule has disappeared.

Get a higher perspective
All extensions that I have mentioned so far are in the first part of the rules of PD, called a class, but that's only part of it. Class B addresses roofs extensions. This often means attic extensions, which can provide headspace usable and daylight in a loft.
This house has both a single floor, ground floor position (which would be allowed in class A) and a small window box on the roof (which would have been allowed under Class B ).
It is possible to mix and match, too. For example, if you want to build a ground floor extension that is outside the limits of PD, but a loft window that is in PD, but could be refused under planning, you can ask your extension under and separately planning to build your loft in PD.

Landmark Lofts
Max out your loft allocation
While older volume calculations are long gone in class A, as already mentioned the only place where they are is with lofts under class B.
as you not stand higher than the highest part of the roof, the rules allow you to build an additional volume a maximum of 40 cubic meters of the terraced houses and up to 50 cubic meters of semi-detached and detached houses. These allowances are very generous in all honesty and most small houses would struggle to get close to the maximum anyway, but you can often encounter the limit on large houses.
This image shows a house, on the right, which was extended with a skylight pretty standard box, probably well below the volume limit. The owners of the house on the left, however, have really gone for it, extending over the rear part of the house, too, get an extra bedroom and probably hit close to the maximum.

A1 Lofts and extensions
Use both sides if you can
the only thing that the rules do not allow is a skylight on the ground before your roof. But if your home (as many do) has a front wheel and a roof that slopes down to the gutters on either side, you are allowed to build by PD dormers on both sides.
Make sure that you maintain the attractiveness of your home, especially in front (I've seen this done horribly in some cases), but with a prudent external design, you can create wonderful open space on the mezzanine level that way.

extend the front
Although the vast majority of developing Authorized concerns the rear and sides of the houses, there is a way to extend at the front - but only to a modest extent.
Class D rules allows the construction of a porch. It does not limit this to open porches, effectively, it allows a small extension before, as long as it is around an existing door and no more than 3 square meters in the plan area and 3 m high .

JML Garden Rooms
building in the garden, as
quite separately and in addition to all that you do to extend the house or in the attic, PD also gives rights under the E-class to build dependencies .
Again, there are limitations: they can not be in front of the facade of the house; they can not take more than 50% of the garden space (although that would often absurd anyway), and there are height restrictions.
However, as long as the use of the building is "incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house," you can use for just about anything you like. It can be fully heated, insulated, plumbed and wired, so could be an extra bedroom, home office or, as in this picture, a wonderful art studio.
