Local to Dudley
Across B64, B65, B69, DY1, DY2, DY5, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Brierley Hill (2 miles), Tipton (2 miles), Kingswinford (4 miles), Halesowen (4 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Worcestershire border, Kidderminster is about 10 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.
Do I need planning permission in Dudley?
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.
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).
