Single-storey extensions in Bedworth

What should you know before starting in Bedworth?

In Bedworth, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council decides planning questions. We check permitted development limits and any local restrictions at the survey, then deal with the Building Regulations side so you receive a completion certificate when the work is signed off.

Most of the build happens outside, so the kitchen is usually only out of action for one to three weeks near the end.
A lawful development certificate from Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council confirms in writing that a permitted development extension is lawful, which helps when you sell.
If you're building over or near a public sewer, the sewerage company has to agree before the foundations go in.

Which option fits your home?

Wrap-around extension

Combines a side and rear extension into an L shape, giving the largest ground-floor gain. Because it extends both sideways and rearwards, a wrap-around normally needs a householder planning application rather than relying on permitted development. Expect more steelwork and a more involved roof where the two sections meet.

Flat roof or pitched roof

Flat roofs, usually GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, keep the height down near boundaries and suit roof lanterns. Pitched or lean-to roofs with tiles to match the house look more traditional and shed rain faster, but need more height. The choice affects permitted development limits, cost, and how much light reaches the existing rooms.

If you need a planning application or a lawful development certificate, councils aim to decide within 8 weeks. Glazing and steel are ordered early so they arrive when the shell is ready, which keeps the build from stalling halfway.

Who approves single-storey extensions in Bedworth?

Usually building control, and sometimes planning. Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council is the planning authority for Bedworth; Building Regulations approval comes from its building control team or a registered building control approver. We'll tell you which applies after the survey.
