Planning rules that apply in Bromsgrove
In England a single-storey side return infill is often permitted development if it stays within the height limits and is no wider than half the width of the original house. Conservation areas, listed buildings and flats always need an application, and the boundary wall usually brings in the Party Wall Act.
The planning position for a specific Bromsgrove 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).
Covering Bromsgrove
Across B60, B61, we can visit, measure and advise. Neighbouring towns we cover include Redditch (5 miles), Droitwich Spa (6 miles), Kidderminster (9 miles), Stourport-on-Severn (9 miles).
Halesowen, in West Midlands, is roughly 8 miles from Bromsgrove 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.

Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.

Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Side return extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bromsgrove, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for a side return extension in Bromsgrove?
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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Bromsgrove?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will the kitchen be darker?
Not if the roof is designed well. A glazed roof or a line of rooflights along the boundary usually makes the room brighter than before.
How much does a side return extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,040 to £3,690 per m² including VAT, so a typical 2 m × 5.5 m infill lands around £25,500 to £32,500 at standard spec in Bromsgrove, more in London.
