Local to Deal
Our survey diary covers Deal, including CT14. The same team covers Dover (8 miles), Ramsgate (8 miles), Broadstairs (9 miles), Margate (11 miles), all within easy reach.
In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.

Who a utility room extension suits
- Busy family homes
- Kitchens that have run out of space for appliances
- Houses with a side passage or small rear corner
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.
Do I need planning permission in Deal?
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 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).
