Working in Newark-on-Trent
Across NG24, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Arnold (14 miles), Nottingham (16 miles), West Bridgford (16 miles), Hucknall (16 miles).
Just over the Lincolnshire border, Grantham is about 13 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.
Will the council need to approve it?
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 Newark-on-Trent 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).

Your questions about a timber frame extension in Newark-on-Trent
Do you cover all of Newark-on-Trent?
Yes. We cover Newark-on-Trent and the surrounding parts of Nottinghamshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Newark-on-Trent, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Newark-on-Trent 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.
Is timber frame cheaper than brick?
It is similar overall. The frame can save time on site, but the cladding choice has a big effect on cost. Our guide range is about £1,660 to £3,230 per m² including VAT.
Does a timber frame extension need planning permission?
The same planning rules apply as for any extension. If the cladding looks different from the house, permitted development’s matching-materials condition may mean an application is needed.
