Planning and approvals in Waterlooville
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Working in Waterlooville
We cover Waterlooville and the postcode districts PO6, PO7, PO8, PO9. Neighbouring towns we cover include Havant (3 miles), Portsmouth (6 miles), Fareham (7 miles), Gosport (7 miles).
Just over the West Sussex border, Emsworth is about 5 miles away. Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.
Included in a typical project
- Roof windows positioned for light and ventilation
- Insulation to current building regulations
- Lead or proprietary flashings to the main wall
- Roof design matched to the existing pitch and tiles
- Vaulted ceilings or flat ceilings with storage above
Matching tiles is harder than it sounds. We source reclaimed or closest-match tiles where the originals are no longer made and agree samples with you before ordering.

Pitched roof extension questions answered
How long does a pitched roof extension take to build in Waterlooville?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Waterlooville 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.
Who do I contract with for a pitched roof extension in Waterlooville?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Can I have a vaulted ceiling?
Yes. A vaulted ceiling with roof windows is one of the main reasons to choose a pitched roof. It needs insulation between and under the rafters to meet the building regulations.
How much does a pitched roof extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,070 to £3,920 per m² including VAT, a little more than a flat roof because of the roof structure and tiles.
