Covering Eastwood
Site visits are available across Eastwood (NG16). The same team covers Hucknall (5 miles), Arnold (7 miles), Nottingham (7 miles), Kirkby-in-Ashfield (7 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Derbyshire border, Ilkeston is about 2 miles away. The East Midlands has plenty of inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses with room to extend, alongside Victorian terraces in the towns.
Do I need planning permission in Eastwood?
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).
What is included
- Kitchen-ready shell or full finish
- New boundary wall or raised party wall
- Party wall notice support (England and Wales)
- Survey of the outrigger, boundary wall and drainage
