One thing that is often overlooked in planning is site access. It’s easy to forget how important it is to make sure you and the builders will be able to gain access to the property. You might have a terrace house, maybe you don’t have a driveway, maybe you’ve got low beams on your ceilings. From guttering to gateways, make sure you have all of the practicalities covered so that the work can take place without issues.

If you do have a terrace property, all building materials will have to be carried through the front door to wherever they’re needed, consider whether this is actually going to be possible. If you don’t have a driveway, consider where you and your potential builders will park during the build? If you have low or beamed ceilings, will there be enough room for materials to be brought through the house?

It may be if you have good relationships with your neighbours that you can call in a favour to ask for fences or walls to be temporally taken down to gain access to your property or to make use of their parking. Neighbours can play a big part in the build process to either help or hinder it.

In most cases planning permission will need to be obtained before you can build an extension however this is not always the case, for instance, you can add 8 metres onto the back of a detached property that is a single storey without the need of planning. However, if your planned extension covers more than fifty per cent of your land then you will need to get permission before you start to build. It is worthwhile to note that any extension without planning permission must use the same materials as the current property.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As well as planning permission, you will also need to consider building regulations. Even without planning consent, you must comply with building regulations, providing either a full plan submission or a building notice.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even if you have Permitted Development rights, you still need to get Building Regulations approval. There are minimum requirements set you by Building Regs for-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Structural integrity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Fire safety⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Energy efficiency⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Damp proofing⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Ventilation⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Replacement Windows⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Under Pinning⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Rewiring⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
General repair work is excluded from Building Regs but new building work, including alterations, must comply with the Regulations, however, certain new buildings such as sheds, outbuildings and some conservatories are exempt.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are unsure about planning your project call us today and arrange a consultation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Just because you are extending does not necessarily mean you have to get everything new, there is a lot that can be done to re-use materials rather than throwing them on a skip. Bricks, roof tiles, old floorboards, fire surrounds, and kitchen units can all be cleaned up and reused or sold. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your existing kitchen units may just need a facelift or could be repurposed in a utility room. There are many local buy and sell sites that can help to dispose of any waste so you can reduce skip costs too. Even if you offer it free for collection, it could save £250!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
