Plan-it Partnership
Will my extension need planning permission?
Many don't. Single-storey rear extensions within certain sizes are usually permitted development; two-storey and side extensions are judged more carefully.
The answer depends on how far the extension projects, how tall it is, how close it sits to boundaries, what's been added to the house before, and whether the property is in a conservation area. We check all of that against your house before anything is drawn, then recommend the route: permitted development (often with a lawful development certificate to prove it), or a householder planning application we prepare and manage.
Either way, building regulations apply. Every extension needs a building-regulations package covering structure, insulation, drainage and fire safety, whatever the planning position.
What you get from us
Measured survey and existing drawings. We measure your house and produce accurate plans and elevations of it as it stands: the baseline the council and your builder both work from.
Proposed drawings. Your extension designed and drawn: floor plans, elevations and the details that matter to how the space will actually live. Revised with you until it's right.
The application, managed. We prepare and submit the planning application or certificate to Warwick District Council or Coventry City Council, respond to the case officer, and keep you informed at each stage.
The building-regulations package. Technical drawings and specifications your builder prices from and Building Control approves, coordinated with a structural engineer where calculations are needed.
