Working in Halesowen
Our survey diary covers Halesowen, including B32, B62, B63, B64, B65, B68. Nearby, we also take on projects in Brierley Hill (4 miles), Dudley (4 miles), Stourbridge (4 miles), Smethwick (5 miles).
Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Do I need planning permission in Halesowen?
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.
The planning position for a specific Halesowen 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 is included
- Planning application where needed
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
