Covering Portishead

Portishead is about 35 miles north-east of Taunton. We also cover Clevedon (5 miles to the south-west), Kingswood and Chepstow.

Homes in the South West

Homes in the South West range from coastal and rural properties in stone and slate to city terraces and modern estates, so extensions are designed to match the local materials.

What is included in a new-build home in Portishead?

We can take a plot from feasibility through planning, detailed design, building regulations, construction and handover, or build to a design and planning permission you already have. The structure can be traditional masonry or timber frame, and we work to the energy and ventilation rules that apply to new homes in each nation.

How much should I budget for a new-build home?

Do you need permission for a new-build home in Portishead?

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

This needs full planning permission from the council.

What can change the price or programme?

Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
Self-builders can usually reclaim VAT on certain materials through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme where they buy them directly.

What are the steps?
