Larger home extensions set to stay in England
Temporary permitted development (PD) rights enabling homeowners in England to extend
at the rear of their properties by up to 8m for detached houses, and up to 6m for terraces and semis, have been made permanent.
In the latest round of tweaks to the General Permitted Development Order, coming into force on 25th May, the government has quietly removed all references to the original 30th May 2019 deadline – confirming the larger home extension and neighbour consultation scheme is here to stay.

In second place was app-controlled lighting, with 25% thinking that it made a valuable addition to their property. Wireless charging, door answering apps and smart security systems also ranked highly.
