Planning and approvals in Market Drayton
In England a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the same size limits as any single-storey rear extension: 3 m or 4 m without an application, or up to 6 m and 8 m through prior approval. Building regulations limit glazing to about a quarter of the new floor area plus the openings it replaces, unless whole-house calculations show the design still performs.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).

Glass extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Market Drayton, 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 Market Drayton?
Yes. We cover Market Drayton and the surrounding parts of Shropshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Market Drayton?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does a glass extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,910 to £5,630 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £40,500 to £51,500 in Market Drayton.
Are glass extensions cold in winter?
Modern double or triple glazing with warm-edge spacers and underfloor heating keeps them comfortable. They are not as warm as a solid room, and we explain the trade-off honestly.
