Do I need planning permission in Weybridge?
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 Weybridge 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).
Working in Weybridge
We cover Weybridge and the postcode districts KT13, KT15, TW17. The same team covers Walton-on-Thames (2 miles), Sunbury-on-Thames (3 miles), West Molesey (4 miles), Esher (4 miles), all within easy reach.
The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.
What is included
- New openings through the side wall
- Structure, roof tied into the house
- Foundations near boundaries and any drains
- Windows, doors and finishes to match
Councils often prefer side extensions to sit slightly back from the front of the house with a lower roof, so the original building still reads clearly. We design to those principles from the start to avoid redesigns.

Do you cover all of Weybridge?

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does a side extension take to build in Weybridge?
On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.
Can I build a side extension without planning permission?
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 planning application.
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.
