Do I need planning permission to add an extra 1 metre to my extension?

Hello, the house we bought already was extended by 5 metres and we would like to extend it by 0.80-1.00m (no more than 6m due to the limit). The extension has a certificate. My question is do I need permission for the additional 1m?

Yes, any time you extend property you will require a permit.
