Local to Sutton Coldfield
Our survey diary covers Sutton Coldfield, including B23, B72, B73, B74, B75, B76. Neighbouring towns we cover include Aldridge (5 miles), Birmingham (7 miles), Walsall (7 miles), Smethwick (8 miles).
For homes towards Staffordshire, Tamworth is around 7 miles away. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.
Planning and approvals in Sutton Coldfield
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.
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 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).
