Planning and approvals in Bracknell
In England a porch is usually permitted development if its ground floor area is no more than 3 m² measured externally, no part is over 3 m high, and no part is within 2 m of a boundary next to a road.
The planning position for a specific Bracknell 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Extensions in and around Bracknell
Postcode districts we cover around Bracknell include RG12, RG40, RG42, RG45, SL5. The same team covers Crowthorne (3 miles), Wokingham (4 miles), Sandhurst (5 miles), Earley (7 miles), all within easy reach.
Camberley, in Surrey, is roughly 5 miles from Bracknell and also on our list. 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.
