Local to Yateley
We cover Yateley and the postcode districts GU46. We also work in nearby Fleet (4 miles), Farnborough (5 miles), Aldershot (7 miles), Basingstoke (12 miles).
Sandhurst, in Berkshire, is roughly 2 miles from Yateley and also on our list. In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.
Planning rules that apply in Yateley
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.
The planning position for a specific Yateley address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
What we take care of
- Submission to the council or a registered building control approver
- Structural calculations for beams, lintels and foundations
- Inspection bookings throughout the build
- Completion certificate on sign-off
Building regulations approval and planning permission are separate. A design can have planning consent and still need changes to meet the regulations, which is why we draw for both together.

Either your local council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Both inspect the work and issue the completion certificate.
