Will the council need to approve it?
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 Bridlington address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
Included in a typical project
- New openings through the side wall
- Structure, roof tied into the house
- Planning route checked or application made
- Windows, doors and finishes to match
- Survey, design and street-view drawings

Extensions in and around Bridlington
Site visits are available across Bridlington (YO15, YO16). Nearby, we also take on projects in Beverley (19 miles), Hull (24 miles), Brough (29 miles), Goole (38 miles).
Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.

Your questions about a side extension in Bridlington
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bridlington, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Bridlington?
Yes. We cover Bridlington and the surrounding parts of East Riding of Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Bridlington 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.
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.
Can I build over my driveway?
Yes, if the foundations work and you keep any parking the council requires. Drains and services under drives are common, so we check before design.
