Local to Atherstone
Our survey diary covers Atherstone, including CV9. Nearby, we also take on projects in Nuneaton (6 miles), Bedworth (8 miles), Kenilworth (16 miles), Rugby (19 miles).
Just over the Staffordshire border, Tamworth is about 7 miles away. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.
Planning and approvals in Atherstone
In England any side extension over one storey, including a room built over a side garage, needs a householder planning application. The fee is £548 from 1 April 2026 and councils aim to decide within 8 weeks.
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 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Over-garage extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Atherstone be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do you cover all of Atherstone?
Yes. We cover Atherstone and the surrounding parts of Warwickshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Atherstone?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does a room over a garage cost?
Our guide range is about £1,750 to £3,300 per m² including VAT. A single-garage room of about 12 m² usually costs £24,000 to £31,500 at standard spec, more if the garage needs rebuilding.
Can I keep using the garage during the build?
Usually not for parking. The garage roof is removed and the space below is used for access and props for part of the build.
