Planning and approvals in Atherstone
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Working in Atherstone
We cover Atherstone and the postcode districts CV9. We also work in nearby Nuneaton (6 miles), Bedworth (8 miles), Kenilworth (16 miles), Rugby (19 miles).
For homes towards Staffordshire, Tamworth is around 7 miles away. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Is a utility room extension right for your house?
- Busy family homes
- Houses with a side passage or small rear corner
- Kitchens that have run out of space for appliances
A good utility works like a back-of-house corridor: in from the garden, boots off, coats on hooks, washing on the way through. We plan the door positions so it doesn't become another room to walk around.
