Do I need planning permission in Bedworth?
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
The planning position for a specific Bedworth 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).

Extensions in and around Bedworth
Our survey diary covers Bedworth, including CV12. We also work in nearby Nuneaton (3 miles), Atherstone (8 miles), Kenilworth (10 miles), Rugby (11 miles).
Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.

Common questions in Bedworth
Do you cover all of Bedworth?
Yes. We cover Bedworth and the surrounding parts of Warwickshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Bedworth?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does a single-storey extension take to build in Bedworth?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Will I need a steel beam?
Almost always. Opening up the rear wall to join the new room to the house needs a beam, usually steel, sized by a structural engineer. It is included in our quotes.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
Usually yes. Most of the work happens outside until the final weeks, when we open the rear wall. We plan that stage carefully and seal the opening with a temporary screen to keep dust down.
