What is a side extension?
A side extension is a smart and creative option for adding a functional living area without sacrificing the garden. It is possible to have a large kitchen, an airy dining room, or even an open-plan living space when the side extension is constructed to the unused side of the house.
A property side extension integrates perfectly with the owner’s existing property, improves its value, enhances natural light, and increases its flow and functionality. With any alteration from modern expansion to traditional makeover, our side extension company provides a comprehensive design and structural engineering service to change your house into a better, brighter, and bigger home.
Side extension under permitted development and prior approval
Securing the necessary permits for a home extension project can be quite challenging, but it needs to be considered.
Certain properties possess permitted development rights, which is beneficial as it allows the homeowner to make certain alterations to their house, like adding a side extension, without applying for planning permission.
To qualify under PDR, side extensions are required to not exceed fifty percent of the total width of the house, and in addition to that, the height and materials used have to match the style of the house. If an extension goes beyond the set limits, prior approval from the local council may be required.
To get started, let’s plan how you want the end result to look like!
