This guidance also seeks to promote and reinforce local distinctiveness based on an assessment of the character of the surrounding built environment.  \nThe House Extension Guidelines have been reviewed in light of Proposal ENV2/2-Protection and Enhancement of Amenity of the Solihull UDP. The guidelines offer advice for householders and professionals on the main principles of extending a dwelling, without unduly affecting neighbours and respecting the character of the area and existing property. The advice outlines the main considerations taken into account by the Council when assessing applications for extensions. Due to the diversity of dwelling types and styles throughout the Borough, it is neither possible nor desirable to include every eventuality. However, general principles can be applied in the majority of cases.  \nThe house extension guidelines have been compiled in accordance with guidance set out in Planning Policy Statement 12: Creating Strong, Safe and Prosperous Communities Through Local Spacial Planning and therefore carries significant weight in the determination of householder planning applications.  \nHouse Extension Guidelines  \n1  \nPermitted development rights  \nPermitted Development rights are afforded to most households to enable owners to carry out certain works without planning permission. It is important to check with Planning Services to ensure your property has these rights before carrying out any of the work detailed below. The contact details for Planning Services are given on page 21.  \nMany of the works described here and throughout this booklet may require Building Regulations approval. Building Control can be contacted for confirmation of the requirements for all the works discussed herein via the details on page 21.  \nPermitted Development Rights allow a Householder to construct certain extensions to their property without planning permission. The guide below is intended to show you what can be done without planning permission by householders whose properties have permitted development rights in place, based upon the General Permitted Development Order 2005, to which amendments came into force on 1st October 2008. It should be noted that in the future these rights may be subject to amendment by Government Statute. If you are in any doubt contact the planning department using the contact details on page 21 or alternatively further guidance is provided on the Planning Portal web-site [at www.planningportal.gov.uk . It](at www.planningportal.gov.uk . It) should be noted that the rules are complex and subject to interpretation and exceptions, for instance in Conservation Areas. Almost all works or alterations to a Listed Building will require consent.
