Single-storey extensions in Bognor Regis

Covering Bognor Regis

Bognor Regis is about 31 miles south-west of Crawley. We also cover Chichester (6 miles to the north-west), Littlehampton and Worthing.

Homes in the South East

Housing across the South East mixes inter-war semis, post-war estates and older cottages in villages and market towns, so rear and side extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and garage conversions all come up regularly.

What do you get with a single-storey extension?

We design the extension around how you use the house: where the light comes from, how the new room joins the old one, and what happens to the drains and the garden. The structure is built in brick or block to match the house, finished with a flat roof and lantern or a pitched roof, then insulated, plastered and handed back ready to decorate.

Do you need permission for a single-storey extension in Bognor Regis?

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.

In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary. Deeper extensions, up to 6 m or 8 m, need prior approval from the council first.

What can change the price or programme?

Drains under the footprint may need diverting or a build-over agreement with the water company.
Building on or near a shared boundary usually means serving a party wall notice in England and Wales.
