Will the council need to approve it?
In England the main routes are permitted development (ideally confirmed with a lawful development certificate, £274), larger home extension prior approval (£249, 42 days) and a householder planning application (£548, normally 8 weeks), with council fees as set from 1 April 2026.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).
Working in Aldershot
Site visits are available across Aldershot (GU11). Neighbouring towns we cover include Farnborough (3 miles), Fleet (4 miles), Yateley (7 miles), Bordon (10 miles).
For homes towards Surrey, Farnham is around 3 miles away. The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.

Common questions in Aldershot
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Aldershot, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Aldershot?
Yes. We cover Aldershot and the surrounding parts of Hampshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Aldershot?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much do extension plans cost?
Our design packs range from about £1,300 to £6,200 including VAT, from planning drawings only to a full pack with building regulations drawings, structural calculations and 3D views. Council fees are separate.
Do I need an architect?
Not necessarily. For most extensions an experienced designer or architectural technologist is enough. For listed buildings or complex sites an architect’s input can help.
