Is Burton near the AONB?

Parts of Burton are close to the Dorset AONB boundary. If your property is within the AONB, PD rights are reduced — side extensions and cladding changes need planning permission. We check your exact address against the AONB boundary during our assessment.

Can I extend my bungalow in Burton?

Yes. Bungalows offer excellent extension potential — rear extensions for open-plan living and loft conversions for additional bedrooms. Many Burton bungalows have large plots, keeping well within the 50% curtilage limit for PD.
