Covering Burnham-on-Sea
Our survey diary covers Burnham-on-Sea, including TA8, TA9. The same team covers Weston-super-Mare (7 miles), Bridgwater (8 miles), Clevedon (15 miles), Taunton (16 miles), all within easy reach.
In the South West, local stone, render and brick vary from town to town, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension that looks right.
Do I need planning permission in Burnham-on-Sea?
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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).
What is included
- Glazed, sloping or flat roof with rooflights
- Removal of the side wall and new steelwork
- New boundary wall or raised party wall
- Survey of the outrigger, boundary wall and drainage
- Kitchen-ready shell or full finish
Light is the design problem. A side return can make the middle of the house darker if the roof is solid, so we model the daylight and usually recommend a glazed slope or a run of rooflights along the boundary edge.
How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Questions people ask about side return extensions
Do you cover all of Burnham-on-Sea?
Yes. We cover Burnham-on-Sea and the surrounding parts of Somerset. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a side return extension in Burnham-on-Sea?
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.
Will my neighbours in Burnham-on-Sea 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 much does a side return extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,140 to £3,880 per m² including VAT, so a typical 2 m × 5.5 m infill lands around £26,500 to £34,000 at standard spec in Burnham-on-Sea, more in London.
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.
