Local to Burntwood
Postcode districts we cover around Burntwood include WS7. Neighbouring towns we cover include Great Wyrley (4 miles), Lichfield (4 miles), Cannock (4 miles), Rugeley (5 miles).
For homes towards West Midlands, Aldridge is around 5 miles away. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Planning and approvals in Burntwood
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.
The planning position for a specific Burntwood 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Burntwood, 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 I need building regulations approval in Burntwood?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does this take for a Burntwood home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
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.
How much do extension plans cost?
Our design packs range from about £1,150 to £5,350 including VAT, from planning drawings only to a full pack with building regulations drawings, structural calculations and 3D views. Council fees are separate.
