-
Some house extensions require planning permission, while others may be allowed under permitted development rights. This depends on factors such as the size and height of the extension, its proximity to boundaries, the property’s location, and any previous extensions or alterations. Checking planning requirements early helps ensure your extension complies with local authority rules and avoids costly delays.
-
You’ll need accurate, well-coordinated drawings for both planning and building control approval, including existing and proposed plans and elevations, structural layouts, construction details, and full compliance with insulation and safety regulations. We prepare all documentation to meet Barnsley Council standards, helping to ensure a clear, efficient approval process with minimal delays.
-
Typically, a planning application takes 8–12 weeks for a standard house extension. Complex projects or those requiring neighbour consultation can take longer. Working with MADE Build ensures your application is complete, reducing delays and avoiding resubmissions.
