Planning rules that apply in Bedlington
In England an annexe that stays part of the household and connects to the house is assessed as an extension, but its size usually takes it beyond permitted development, so a householder application describing the ancillary use is the normal route.
The planning position for a specific Bedlington address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What we take care of

- Design for accessibility: level thresholds, wider doors, walk-in shower

Your questions about an annexe extension in Bedlington
Do you cover all of Bedlington?
Yes. We cover Bedlington and the surrounding parts of Northumberland. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Bedlington?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Bedlington be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Will an annexe affect council tax?
It can. Some annexes are assessed separately for council tax, with discounts or exemptions in some cases when occupied by a relative. Check with the Valuation Office Agency (England and Wales), your local assessor (Scotland) or Land & Property Services (Northern Ireland).

Our guide range is about £1,820 to £3,460 per m² including VAT. A one-bedroom annexe of about 35 m² is typically £76,000 to £96,000 at standard spec in Bedlington.
