What is included
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- 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.
Local to Wymondham
Site visits are available across Wymondham (NR18). Neighbouring towns we cover include Norwich (9 miles), Dereham (11 miles), Thetford (19 miles), North Walsham (21 miles).
For homes towards Suffolk, Stowmarket is around 27 miles away. The East of England mixes market-town terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates. Clay soils are common in parts of the region, which can affect foundation design.
Planning and approvals in Wymondham
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 regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
