Do I need planning permission in Bexhill-on-Sea?
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
The planning position for a specific Bexhill-on-Sea address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
Extensions in and around Bexhill-on-Sea
Our survey diary covers Bexhill-on-Sea, including TN39, TN40. We also work in nearby Hastings (5 miles), Hailsham (9 miles), Eastbourne (10 miles), Seaford (17 miles).
For homes towards Kent, Tunbridge Wells is around 22 miles away. Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.

Conservatory replacement questions answered
Do you cover all of Bexhill-on-Sea?
Yes. We cover Bexhill-on-Sea and the surrounding parts of East Sussex. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Bexhill-on-Sea be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
How long does a conservatory replacement take to build in Bexhill-on-Sea?
On site, typically 8 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Does replacing a conservatory need planning permission?
A solid replacement is treated as a new extension, so it must meet the permitted development limits or get planning permission, and it always needs building regulations approval.
Is it worth replacing a conservatory with an extension?
If the conservatory is unusable for much of the year, usually yes. A solid extension gives a heated room that counts as proper living space. Our guide range is about £2,070 to £3,920 per m² including VAT, including removal.
