Local to Newbury
Our survey diary covers Newbury, including RG14, RG20. We also work in nearby Thatcham (3 miles), Reading (16 miles), Earley (18 miles), Wokingham (21 miles).
For homes towards Oxfordshire, Wantage is around 14 miles away. 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 Newbury
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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).
