Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development rights and require no planning application. Key limits are 3m projection for terraced/semi-detached and 4m for detached homes. Extensions exceeding these limits, or in conservation areas, will need planning permission.
How long will a house extension take?
A standard single-storey extension typically takes 10–16 weeks on site. This excludes any planning or building regulations approval time beforehand. More complex or two-storey extensions take longer.
What is the difference between building regulations and planning permission?
Planning permission covers whether a project is acceptable in terms of design and impact on neighbours. Building regulations cover structural safety, energy efficiency, and fire safety. Most building work needs building regulations approval even if planning permission is not required.
Should I use a main contractor or manage trades myself?
Using a main contractor who manages all sub-trades is less stressful and they take responsibility for the programme. Self-managing trades directly can save money but requires significant time and knowledge to coordinate effectively.
