Working in Eastwood
Across NG16, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Hucknall (5 miles), Arnold (7 miles), Nottingham (7 miles), Kirkby-in-Ashfield (7 miles).
Ilkeston, in Derbyshire, is roughly 2 miles from Eastwood and also on our list. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
What we take care of
- Fire separation and alarms to building regulations
- Planning application describing ancillary use
- Separate or shared heating and hot water
- Design for accessibility: level thresholds, wider doors, walk-in shower
- Kitchenette, shower room and bedroom finish
Planning rules that apply in Eastwood
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 Eastwood 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 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).

With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Common questions in Eastwood
How long does an annexe extension take to build in Eastwood?
On site, typically 16 to 24 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 10–16 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Eastwood 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 Eastwood?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does an annexe extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,900 to £3,610 per m² including VAT. A one-bedroom annexe of about 35 m² is typically £79,500 to £100,000 at standard spec in Eastwood.
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.
