Extension to house, how much off road parking is required??

This should not make a difference these days, many authorities work on maximum nos. of car spaces, not a minimum, based on the latest words of wisdom from the Government. Thats why some places end up with cars all over the roads! Have a word with the planning officer, if its not on their website.

I agree, have a chat with your local Planning Department. Different parking rules apply, depending on where you live. The rules in your area will be set out in your council's Local Development Plan (or Unitary Development Plan if you live in a Unitary Authority area). Most councils publish their LDP's on their websites, but if you can't find it there should be a copy at your local library.

If any such planning conditions exist, then you just term the extra rooms as a 'study' or 'playroom' or such like.

Or just say that an internal partition is to be removed to increase the size of an existing room or add an ensuite etc.

You need to 'phone the planning department of your local council. ISTR that something similar was introduced somewhere (Oxford?) to discourage people extending (and adding value to) smaller properties, thus putting them out of reach of first time buyers.
