How do I start planning for a home extension?
Decide on an extension
With many options to choose from, you need to make sure you decide on the type of extension you would like to build on your property. The different types of extensions include:
- Rear extensions
- Wrap around home extensions
- Garage conversions
- Loft conversions
- Conservatories

Do you need planning permission?
Even though many extensions do not require planning permission, it is always good to check this with your local authority. It usually falls under permitted development, this simply means you will not need to apply for planning permission for any extension work you are looking to get done.
Plan your stay
Living in the same home where an extension is being carried out is often overlooked, especially when you are working from home, finding a quiet place during the day can be difficult. Also, a project as big as an extension can last for a few months and if staying at home is not an option for you, you can consider living with friends or family temporarily.
