Covering Bridgnorth
We cover Bridgnorth and the postcode districts WV16. Neighbouring towns we cover include Telford (11 miles), Wellington (13 miles), Ludlow (15 miles), Shrewsbury (19 miles).
For homes towards West Midlands, Kingswinford is around 11 miles away. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Over-garage extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Bridgnorth 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 Bridgnorth?
Yes. We cover Bridgnorth and the surrounding parts of Shropshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bridgnorth, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Can my garage take the weight of a room on top?
Some can and some cannot. Many garages have a single-skin wall or shallow foundations. Our structural engineer checks this before we give a fixed price.
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.
