Cobham is detached houses on generous plots, many on private estates and wooded roads.

Green Belt land surrounds the town. There, Elmbridge weighs extensions against a volume and footprint limit.

A dormer adds volume, so it joins that sum.

Cobham’s conservation areas include Cobham itself, Plough Corner and The Tilt. Roof permitted development does not apply in them.

Two Article 4 directions cover gates, fences, walls and temporary buildings, not roofs.

Does a Cobham loft dormer count against Green Belt limits?

On Green Belt land, yes. It adds volume the council weighs.

Earlier extensions to the house count too.

Do Cobham’s Article 4 directions affect my roof?

No. Both cover gates, fences, walls and temporary buildings.

A conservation area, if it applies, matters more.

Is a house near Plough Corner in Cobham free to add a dormer?

Not without planning. Plough Corner is a conservation area.

Class B roof rights do not apply there.

Do Cobham private estates have their own approval for roof works?

Some have their own rules for building work.

We ask for the estate’s rules before design.
