Single-storey extensions in Water Orton

Planning your single-storey extension in Water Orton

In Water Orton, North Warwickshire 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.

Under permitted development, a rear extension on a semi or terrace can usually project 3 metres from the original back wall, or 6 metres through the prior approval route.
If you're building over or near a public sewer, the sewerage company has to agree before the foundations go in.
Wide glazed doors and roof lights make the biggest difference to how bright the new room feels, and to the final price.

Which options suit homes in Water Orton?

Utility, WC or boot-room extension

A smaller extension of 6–12 m² can take the washing machine, coats and a downstairs toilet out of the kitchen. Adding a WC means a new waste connection, so the position of the existing drains often decides the layout. It's a cost-effective way to free up the main rooms without a large build.

Rear kitchen-diner extension

The usual layout: a 3–6 metre extension across all or part of the back wall, with the old rear wall replaced by a steel beam so the new and existing rooms become one space. Roof lights or a lantern bring daylight into the middle of the house, and bifold or sliding doors open onto the garden.

What does your single-storey extension cost in Water Orton?

Guide prices start at £28,000 and run to £90,000 depending on size and specification. A 4 m × 5 m rear extension on a semi, with roof lights and bifold doors: around £40,000–£52,000.

Questions about single-storey extensions in Water Orton

What guarantees come with the extension?

Windows, doors, roof lights and roofing membranes come with manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for each product are set out in your quote.

Do you cover Water Orton?

Yes. Water Orton (B46) is about 11 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

What should I prepare before the survey?

Think about how you want to use the new space, and gather anything you have about the house: old plans, deeds showing boundaries, approvals for any earlier extension, and where you think the drains run. Photos of extensions you like help us price glazing and finishes accurately. If you're in a conservation area or on a newer estate, mention it, as it can affect permitted development.

Who approves single-storey extensions in Water Orton?

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