Will the council need to approve it?
In England a single-storey extension to a bungalow follows the normal permitted development limits (3 m or 4 m, or 6 m and 8 m through prior approval). Adding a first floor always needs planning permission.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).
Extensions in and around Bridport
We cover Bridport and the postcode districts DT6. Neighbouring towns we cover include Dorchester (15 miles), Weymouth (16 miles), Poole (35 miles), Wimborne Minster (35 miles).
Yeovil, in Somerset, is roughly 15 miles from Bridport and also on our list. In the South West, local stone, render and brick vary from town to town, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension that looks right.
Included in a typical project
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
