Your Single Storey Side Extension Project — Homeowner Guide

Description

Your Single Storey Side Extension Project — A Practical Guide for Homeowners

Thinking about extending into the space at the side of your house?

Your Single Storey Side Extension Project is an illustrated digital guide designed to help homeowners in England understand the decisions involved in planning and building a single storey side extension.

Whether you’re exploring ideas or getting ready to speak to a builder, this guide helps you work through the project step by step.

What’s inside?

• Permitted development rules: Understand the conditions that may allow a single storey side extension without a planning application, including width relative to the original house and height considerations, and when a full application may be needed.
• Planning your project: A clear, step-by-step journey from initial ideas through to construction.
• Extension design: Consider how the extension widens the house, side access, window and door positions, roof form and matching the existing materials.
• Costs and budgeting: Work through the main costs, from foundations and drainage diversions to structure, glazing and finishes.
• Drawings and approvals: Understand the role of architectural drawings, planning permission, Lawful Development Certificates and Building Regulations.
• Building Regulations: Understand how Building Regulations apply to structure, foundations close to a boundary, drainage diversions, insulation and glazing.
• Choosing builders: Prepare for quotations and discussions with contractors.
• Practical checklists and worksheets: Keep track of decisions, costs and next steps.
