Do I need planning permission in Burnham-on-Sea?
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 Burnham-on-Sea address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Common questions in Burnham-on-Sea
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Burnham-on-Sea, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Burnham-on-Sea 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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Burnham-on-Sea?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Does an annexe extension need planning permission?
Usually yes, because of its size and the way it will be used. Councils check that it stays ancillary to the main house, so the application must describe the use clearly.
Can the annexe have its own front door?
Yes, many do, but it should still connect to the main house to stay clearly part of it.
