There is no state level "Wetlands ruling" that would regulate this. The NH Shoreland Act (RSA 482-A) would prohibit getting closer to the water for structures closer than 50 to the water but later expansion could still be possible. The Shoreland Act was changed in either 2008 or 2009 to remove the pre-existing restrictions on expanding pre-existing primary structures upward within 50 feet of the reference line. There has been a 12 ft. limit on the height of accessory structures within 50 feet of the reference line since 1996.
