Do I need planning permission in Arnold?
In England a single-storey side extension can be permitted development if it is no more than 4 m high and no wider than half the width of the original house. Two-storey side extensions, and any side extension on designated land such as a conservation area, need a householder planning application.
The planning position for a specific Arnold address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).
Working in Arnold
Our survey diary covers Arnold, including NG3, NG5, NG6. The same team covers Nottingham (3 miles), Hucknall (4 miles), West Bridgford (5 miles), Eastwood (7 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Derbyshire border, Ilkeston is about 8 miles away. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.

Questions people ask about side extensions
Will my neighbours in Arnold 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.
Do you cover all of Arnold?
Yes. We cover Arnold and the surrounding parts of Nottinghamshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a side extension in Arnold?
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.
How much does a side extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,660 to £3,230 per m² including VAT, depending on specification, so a standard 18 m² single-storey side extension lands around £35,000 to £45,500 in Arnold.
How close to the boundary can I build?
It depends on height. In England, within 2 m of a boundary the eaves must not exceed 3 m under permitted development. Building on the boundary is possible but brings party wall and maintenance access issues we plan for.
