Planning rules that apply in Bebington
In England a two-storey rear extension is permitted development only if it projects no more than 3 m from the original rear wall, sits at least 7 m from the rear boundary, matches the roof pitch and uses obscure, non-opening side windows upstairs. Most two-storey extensions therefore go through a householder planning application, which costs £548 from 1 April 2026 and normally takes about 8 weeks.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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.
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).
When a bedroom extension makes sense
- Growing families
- Homeowners who want an en-suite master bedroom
- Multi-generational households
New bedrooms on an upper floor need an escape window or a protected route to the outside under the building regulations. We design the window sizes and stair route to meet that from the outset.
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Common questions in Bebington
Do I need building regulations approval in Bebington?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does a bedroom extension take to build in Bebington?
On site, typically 14 to 22 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Bebington 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.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
Can I add a ground-floor bedroom for a relative?
Yes. A ground-floor bedroom with an accessible shower room is a common request. If it will be lived in as a self-contained home, planning treats it differently, so tell us how it will be used.
