Planning rules that apply in Devizes
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).

Questions people ask about utility room extensions
Do you cover all of Devizes?
Yes. We cover Devizes and the surrounding parts of Wiltshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Devizes 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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Devizes, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a utility room extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,940 to £3,570 per m² including VAT, with a minimum of around £14,500. An 8 m² standard-spec utility is typically £18,000 to £23,000 in Devizes.
Can a utility have a toilet?
Yes, space permitting. A WC needs drainage and extraction, which we plan into the design.
