The revised rules enable \u201cfamilies to grow without being forced to move\u201d and makes the process of achieving your dream home quicker and easier. In terms of heating though, extending your home usually means extending your plumbing in order to install central heating radiators. Unless of course, there\u2019s an equally quick and easy electric<\/em> heating solution\u2026<\/p>\n Since 2013, the government has been trialling revised rules for building single-storey extensions that don\u2019t <\/em>require planning permission. Feared and respected in equal measure, planning permission is notoriously bureaucratic \u2013 often scuppering homeowners\u2019 plans before they even begin.
