Local to Bury St Edmunds
Our survey diary covers Bury St Edmunds, including IP32, IP33. We also work in nearby Stowmarket (13 miles), Newmarket (13 miles), Sudbury (14 miles), Haverhill (16 miles).
Thetford, in Norfolk, is roughly 12 miles from Bury St Edmunds and also on our list. Across the East of England many houses sit on generous plots, and single-storey and wraparound extensions are a natural fit.
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 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.
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).

Common questions in Bury St Edmunds
Who do I contract with in Bury St Edmunds?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bury St Edmunds, 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 Bury St Edmunds?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I use your drawings with another builder?
Yes. Once paid for, the drawings are yours to use for your 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.
