Local to Woodbridge
Our survey diary covers Woodbridge, including IP12. The same team covers Felixstowe (9 miles), Ipswich (10 miles), Stowmarket (17 miles), Sudbury (27 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Essex border, Harwich is about 11 miles away. Across the East of England many houses sit on generous plots, and single-storey and wraparound extensions are a natural fit.
Planning rules that apply in Woodbridge
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.
The planning position for a specific Woodbridge address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).
