Local to Kidderminster
We cover Kidderminster and the postcode districts DY10, DY11, DY12. The same team covers Stourport-on-Severn (4 miles), Bromsgrove (9 miles), Droitwich Spa (9 miles), Worcester (14 miles), all within easy reach.
Stourbridge, in West Midlands, is roughly 7 miles from Kidderminster and also on our list. 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 Kidderminster?
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.
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).
