Planning Problems Blocking Your Home Extension
A home extension can be a fantastic way to increase your living space and accommodate a growing family. However, like any major renovation project, it also presents significant challenges. One of the most crucial hurdles you’ll likely encounter is planning permission.
Local planning regulations vary widely across different regions. Understanding the specific requirements for your property is essential to avoid delays or potential legal issues. These regulations may impose restrictions on various aspects of your extension, such as height, rear house extensions, and the impact on neighbouring properties. If your home is a listed building or you’re considering adding a conservatory, these limitations may be even more stringent.
With our help, you can confidently embark on your home extension project, knowing that you’re in good hands.

Case Study
Mr and Mrs Wilson, residents of London, faced a common challenge with their Victorian terrace home: limited living space. Determined to expand their living area without compromising the home’s character, they turned to Plansing for a solution. Our expertise in Victorian house extensions proved invaluable.
The Wilsons opted for a side return extension, a popular choice for Victorian terraces. This design involved extending the property laterally from the side, creating a new living space without altering the original structure. RIBA architects carefully considered the existing architecture, ensuring that the extension complemented the home’s original features.
With our creative and artistic design, our structural engineers also fully consider the structural calculations for this extension to ensure the integrity and safety of the building. The company’s attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the project. The Wilsons were delighted with the finished result. The side return extension had transformed their Victorian terrace into a modern, comfortable home while preserving its historic charm.
