Covering Stamford
We cover Stamford and the postcode districts PE9. Neighbouring towns we cover include Spalding (17 miles), Grantham (19 miles), Boston (30 miles), Lincoln (40 miles).
Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
What we take care of
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Planning application where needed
- Structural survey before any upward extension
Bungalow roofs are often hipped, which makes tying in an extension roof a careful job. We draw the roof junction early because it drives both the look and the cost.
Planning rules that apply in Stamford
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.
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.
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).
