Local to Fareham
Postcode districts we cover around Fareham include PO13, PO14, PO15, PO16, PO17. The same team covers Gosport (4 miles), Portsmouth (5 miles), Waterlooville (7 miles), Havant (8 miles), all within easy reach.
The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.
Planning rules that apply in Fareham
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).

Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about an annexe extension in Fareham
Who do I contract with for an annexe extension in Fareham?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Will my neighbours in Fareham 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.
How long does an annexe extension take to build in Fareham?
On site, typically 16 to 24 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 10–16 weeks design and approvals.
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.
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.
