FAQ
Will a single-storey extension add value to my house?
How long does it take to build a single-storey extension?
The timeline for a single-story extension project will depend on factors such as the size and complexity of the project, planning permission requirements, and weather conditions. Typically, it can take anywhere from 10-16 weeks.
What is the maximum size for a single-storey extension without planning permission?
Under Permitted Development Rights, the maximum depth for a single-story rear extension is 3 meters for terraced or semi-detached houses and 4 meters for detached houses. The height should not exceed 4 meters. For side extensions, the width should not be more than half the width of the original house.
Do I need planning permission for a single-storey extension?
In many cases, single-story extensions can be built under Permitted Development Rights, meaning you may not require planning permission. However, there are specific guidelines and limitations you must follow. It is always a good idea to check with your local planning authority before starting any work.
How much does a single-storey extension cost?
The cost of a single-story extension can vary significantly depending on factors like location, size, materials, and complexity. On average, the cost can range from £1,200 to £2,500 per square meter.
Do I need a Party Wall Agreement for my single-storey extension?
If your single-story extension involves work on a shared wall with a neighbouring property, you may need a Party Wall Agreement under the Party Wall Act 1996. This is a legal requirement that ensures both parties are aware of and agree to the proposed works.
Can I build a single-storey extension on a conservation area or listed building?
If your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, you may face additional planning constraints. You will need to consult your local planning authority to determine what is allowed and whether you need to apply for additional permissions.
What type of foundations are required for a single-storey extension?
The type of foundations required will depend on factors such as ground conditions, nearby trees, and the weight of the structure. The most common types are strip foundations, trench fill foundations, and raft foundations. A structural engineer or architect can help you determine the appropriate foundation type for your project.
Do I need building regulation approval for my single-storey extension?
Yes, all single-story extensions must comply with UK building regulations, regardless of whether they require planning permission or not. You will need to submit a building regulations application and get approval from your local building control department.
How can I ensure my single-storey extension matches the existing property?
To ensure a cohesive design, you can use matching materials, finishes, and architectural details. Consulting an architect or experienced builder can help you create a design that complements the existing property.
Generally, a well-designed and well-built single-story extension can add value to your home. It provides additional living space and can improve the overall layout and functionality of the property.
