Planning Permission and Building Regulations Approval
- All work to your house will require approval under the Building Regulations but not all work will require planning permission.
- Internal alterations [except to a listed building] do not require planning permission.
- Where there have been no previous extensions built on to your house many extensions and loft conversions fall within permitted development limits and will not require planning permission.
- Where the house has been extended previously it is possible that when the volume of the proposed extension or loft conversion is added to the volume of the previous extensions the permitted development limits will be exceeded and permission will be required.
- A simple measurement of the previous extensions will allow us to tell you if planning permission is required for the proposed works.
- Extensions and loft conversions will require planning permission if your home is in a Conservation Area.
Extend or Move?
- An extension or conversion will give you the advantage and benefit of a larger home without the upheaval and expense of moving.
- Moving to achieve more space often means compromising as you cannot always find a house that has exactly what you want.
- The cost of an extension or conversion will generally be less than the cost of moving.
- An extension or conversion can add significantly to the value to your home.
