I imagine will need new flooring in Bathroom and part floor in bedroom. it has laminate. Will also need new bathtub and sink Need it done in stages due to financial reasons and so kids including a disabled person have access to bathing so bathtub installation will need to be the last step.

    How much can I extend my house without planning permission?

    I’ve heard some extensions don’t need planning permission, but I’m confused about how much you’re actually allowed to build. What are the usual limits, and when does planning become unavoidable?
