What This Query Usually Needs To Settle
Main route
Start with the main annexe page for Newham, then use the rule pages below if planning permission and depth limits is the reason the answer is not straightforward.
Rule signals
- The critical distinction is between ancillary family accommodation and a separate planning unit. If the building or rooms would function as self-contained living accommodation, you should expect a planning application rather than relying on ordinary householder rights.
- Instead of a dedicated annexe projection right, the planning route depends on form and use: extensions follow the normal extension rules, while detached structures must stay within the usual outbuilding limits and remain clearly ancillary.
Why this page exists
The query combines a project, a place and one or more planning rules, so a focused route is more useful than sending you back to a broad hub.
The Checks Most Likely To Change The Route
