Has anyone ever built an extention on a leashold flat?

I own my own ground floor flat/ maisonatte but a housing association owns the freehold, my flat has its own private garden which we hope to build a small extention onto (less then 4 meters) which would not affect any neighbours as we all have our own private entrances and gardens. I am very new and inexperienced in owning my own home.
Does anyone have any experience in this, any advice at all?

I have spoke with the housing association and even they are unsure who i would need to speak with first i.e the council or themselves and are going to look into it.

Thanks

What does your lease say? Ours sets out the process for making any alterations which includes a written application to the freeholder for permission plus various reports we need to get.
