Benefits Of Home Extensions
Building an extension will, without doubt, come with a certain amount of inconvenience and cost, so is it really worth it? Whether you are getting a kitchen extension, an annexe or an extra bedroom, all extensions come along with plenty of benefits. These include:
Planning Permission & Building Regulations
When you extend your home in the UK, the building must adhere to both local planning laws and building regulations. It sounds complicated, but we are here to help you with the legal requirements.
If your home is in a conservation area or protected area, these rules will probably not apply, however, and you will need to seek permission for any extension.
Extensions do not always need planning approval. If your project meets the following rules, then you can add the extension under ‘permitted development rights’.
Minimum standards are set down in the Building Regulations for:
With the exception of replacement windows, underpinning and rewiring, most repair work is not covered by Building Regulations. All new building work, including alterations, must comply.
What Size Of Extension Is Best?
When it comes to house extensions, bigger isn’t always better. There are often ways to create the illusion of additional space without installing a major addition. If you build too large, you could end up with ‘dead’ space that is not functional, or just ends up being a corridor to another part of the home.
Intelligent design helps you to maximise your property’s square footage. Questioning what the space will be used for, and looking at the existing building will help. When you employ an experienced team for your extension, you will gain useful guidance for your project. Choose Bexhill Property Maintenance – we can build what you need.
