Extension Without Planning Permission

What Size Extension Can I Build Without Planning Permission?
​
Whilst getting approval from your local council for any form of home expansion regardless of its size can seem like an arduous process, house extension may not require full planning permission although it is always best practice to contact your local authority regardless.  

As house extending is a highly complex process, house extension architects are your best bet to ensure that you will be able to complete your house extension within the planning rules and regulations set out by local councils without designing an unsightly eyesore! House extensions can also increase in price depending on whether they are being extended upwards or outwards; if building up then typically house extenders will need more material (such as bricks) whereas house extension contractors who opt for increasing their footprint (outward expansion of property), tend to use less materials. Generally speaking though; outward house extending's tend to cost more than upward ones due to requiring permits from foundations underneath existing house plans. On average, it takes around 12 weeks for Nottingham construction companies to build house extensions, but depending on size and complexity of the house extension it may take more or less time.
  • Outward house extensions cost more due to foundation permits needed for construction work underneath existing house plans; approximately 12 weeks can be taken by experts in building house extensions (depending on size and complexity of house extension); house extenders use less materials.
  • Inward house extensions tend to cost less due to not requiring permits from foundations underneath existing house plans; approximately 12 weeks can be taken by experts in building house extensions (depending on size and complexity of house extension); house extenders require more material usage. 
  • An architect is needed for designing the right kind of plan which would suit your home, you will also need them if there are any changes that need to be made throughout the construction process
  • It's possible to build a loft conversion without needing planning permission but other kinds may require some form of approval
  • An architect might become important when renovations or structural problems arise during work being done on the home while extending it several house extension projects require a house to be vacant at some stage and this can cause stress for homeowners
  • It's important to discuss with an architect whether or not the house will increase in value once the extension is complete
  • There are many different methods of building house extensions such as: home addition, house renovation, green homes and infill construction. A professional should help you figure out which option would work best for your situation
  • When thinking about house expansion options, one needs to consider how much space they really need. It may seem like more space is necessary but over time people get used to having less square footage around them and might even enjoy living in a smaller area after getting rid of their excess rooms; these considerations make it possible for you to go much smaller when it comes time for house add-ons
  • If your house is a flat then the process of getting an extension built will be quite different than the one needed in order to build up instead. You can find out which option would work best by consulting with a professional and asking them questions about how they plan to do their job; this makes sure that things run smoothly and there aren't any issues down the line

How far out can you build a single story extension
?

A single storey extension is required when you want to add extra space without changing the shape of your house. You can build out as far as you like, but it is important that you do not overhang on a neighbour’s property. You must also respect the house building regulations that are in place for your area. You would want to increase the height of your single storey for several reasons such as to create a playroom or extra bedroom.
