Bedroom extensions in Cromer: design, approvals and build
A bedroom extension in Cromer starts with the right design and the right approval route. We take care of both, then build it with our own project management.

Covering Cromer
Postcode districts we cover around Cromer include NR27. The same team covers North Walsham (8 miles), Norwich (21 miles), Dereham (23 miles), Wymondham (26 miles), all within easy reach.
Lowestoft, in Suffolk, is roughly 36 miles from Cromer and also on our list. Across the East of England many houses sit on generous plots, and single-storey and wraparound extensions are a natural fit.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
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).

Questions people ask about bedroom extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Cromer, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Cromer?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Who do I contract with for a bedroom extension in Cromer?
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.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,700 to £3,390 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £36,000 to £47,000 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
Does an en-suite need a window?
No, but it needs mechanical extraction that meets the building regulations. We design the duct route at the drawing stage.
