Do I need planning permission in West Bridgford?
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What we take care of
- Separate or shared heating and hot water
- Design for accessibility: level thresholds, wider doors, walk-in shower
- Planning application describing ancillary use
- Kitchenette, shower room and bedroom finish
- Fire separation and alarms to building regulations
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.

Common questions in West Bridgford
How long does an annexe extension take to build in West Bridgford?
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 West Bridgford 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 West Bridgford?
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 West Bridgford.
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.
