Extensions in and around Sutton Coldfield
Our survey diary covers Sutton Coldfield, including B23, B72, B73, B74, B75, B76. Neighbouring towns we cover include Aldridge (5 miles), Birmingham (7 miles), Walsall (7 miles), Smethwick (8 miles).
Just over the Staffordshire border, Tamworth is about 7 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.
Planning rules that apply in Sutton Coldfield
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
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).

Questions people ask about pitched roof extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Sutton Coldfield, 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 Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. We cover Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding parts of West Midlands. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Is a pitched roof better than a flat roof?
Neither is better in all cases. Pitched roofs blend with traditional houses and shed water quickly; flat roofs give more headroom and suit modern designs and lanterns.
How much does a pitched roof extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,790 to £3,400 per m² including VAT, a little more than a flat roof because of the roof structure and tiles.
