When you are happy with the design we draw up your plans and submit them, along with all the necessary information required, to Wolverhampton Planning Department, we then liaise with the Planning Department on your behalf. We can also provide Building Regulations for Building Control and structural calculations should you need them.
Whether it's the demands of a growing family or a home business, many people find they need more space. Due to the current economic climate moving or remortgaging may not be possible. If you do not have any outside space for building an extension a garage conversion could be the answer. A garage conversion is one of the most cost effective building solutions and an ideal way to create more living space. Converting a garage into a habitable room does not generally require planning permission as long as there is no enlargement of the garage.
A Loft Conversion can be a very cost effective way of adding another bedroom. Turning a three bedroomed house into a four bedroom house with master suite and ensuite can take your property into a different price bracket, alternatively you may need a Home Office ( away from the rest of the house). We can help you achieve this. A feasibility study will need to be undertaken, a space of approximately 2.3m from the ridge of the ceiling joist when standing under the apex is required. Dormer windows are allowed under permitted development provided they do not face the highway and do not increase the cubic volume of the house by more than 40 cu.m. for a terrace and 50 cu.m. in other cases ( there are exceptions - conservation areas etc ).
Building an extension can be a very cost effective way of gaining the extra space you need. A single storey extension will allow youto have a large kitchen diner, family room or play room. Moving from a three bedroom house to a four or five bedroom house is usually far more expensive than building a double storey extension. EP Architecture Wolverhampton can manage and build your project from the initial design stage all the way through to completion.
The Building Regulations set national standards for building work, whether it be on a major new development or an extension or alterations to your home. All aspects of construction are covered, including foundations, damp-proofing, the overall stability of the building, insulation, ventilation, heating, fire protection and means of escape in case of fire. They also ensure that adequate facilities for people with disabilities are provided in certain types of building. Building Regulations are a legal requirement in England and Wales and are regularly being updated.
You may be able to build a conservatory or Garden Room under permitted development if your scheme falls within certain criteria for example a single storey rear extension/conservatory must not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house by more than three metres if a terraced or semi detached house or by four metres if a detached house. Larger conservatories will need planning permission but can be a very quick and cost effective way of adding space to your existing property and can provide lovely light kitchen extensions, dining rooms or play rooms.
