Planning and approvals in Rushden
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 Rushden address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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 should I budget for an annexe extension in Rushden?
These guide figures apply our East Midlands adjustment (×0.95) to national rates. They include VAT at 20% and cover the build itself; design and council fees are listed separately.

Covering Rushden
Site visits are available across Rushden (NN10). We also work in nearby Wellingborough (4 miles), Kettering (9 miles), Northampton (12 miles), Corby (15 miles).
Bedford, in Bedfordshire, is roughly 12 miles from Rushden and also on our list. The East Midlands has plenty of inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses with room to extend, alongside Victorian terraces in the towns.
Included in a typical project
- Fire separation and alarms to building regulations
- Planning application describing ancillary use
- Design for accessibility: level thresholds, wider doors, walk-in shower
- Kitchenette, shower room and bedroom finish
- Separate or shared heating and hot water
Accessibility is cheaper to design in than to retrofit. Level access, a 900 mm door width, a level-access shower and space to turn a wheelchair can all be planned into the footprint for little extra cost.

Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.

We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
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 Rushden
Do you cover all of Rushden?
Yes. We cover Rushden and the surrounding parts of Northamptonshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Rushden 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.
Who do I contract with for an annexe extension in Rushden?
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.
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.
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 Rushden.
