Home Improvements – Extensions

Ground floor or one/two storey extensions are an excellent way to increase the living space in your home, and are also a good way of adding additional value to your property. You will need to think carefully about the space you have available for building and also your budget, and it is a good idea to commission a professional architect to draw up some initial plans for you.

Once you have decided on the plans you will in most cases need to submit them to your council local planning/building control department for approval, which may cost a small fee. If you do build an extension without planning permission, the council can reject your plans even after the building has been completed, and this means you will have to take the extension down and start again, which would be a huge waste of time and money and so it is best to make sure you have planning permission before you start.
