Considerations
Approval
Even if the extension is within the Permitted Development rights the extension will require Building Regulations approval which will cover the structure, fire safety, damp proofing, ventilation, fire safety and energy efficiency.
Legislation
Several other criteria need to be checked such as Party Wall Act agreement, some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPO), location of sewers and if the property is within a conservation area.
Glazing & Light
How big to build the extension and how much glass to use. Important balance between design, energy efficiency, managing the light and cost needs to be considered. Building regulations limit the total area of glazed elements in an extension. Extending above a single story would typically require Planning Permission.
All our extensions are covered by a 10 year warranty.
