Novu Lux Homes Ltd | Permitted Development Extensions in Guildford, Basingstoke and the Surrounding Areas
The main objective of the extension builders at Novu Lux Homes Ltd is to plan and design the property of your dreams, and to create clutter-free habitable space. One of the main concerns our customers have is knowing how to plan a project if it requires planning permission. Did you know that we can build extensions within your permitted development rights, and that our team can help you to avoid dealing with your local authority’s planning department?
We build permitted development extensions in all locations near Farnham to include Basingstoke, Guildford and all Hampshire and Surrey areas.
One of the main considerations of having permitted development extensions built is optimisation of the design. This can be a point of confusion for many of our customers but, thanks to our input, making a room addition to a terraced, detached or semi-detached property can become more straightforward if a build isn’t on designated land or classed as a listed or a heritage property.
By keeping within local authority parameters, we can build an extension to a set specification without having to collaborate with building control.
These parameters include, but are not limited to:
Single-Storey Permitted Development Extensions
- No more than half the available land used to extend
- Perfect for rear-facing home extensions
- No cladding used on designated land or listed builds
- Extensions sit more than 4m from a current rear wall
- Overall height of an extension doesn’t exceed 4m
- Materials used to match the existing façade of a property
Double-Storey Permitted Development Extensions
- Rear extensions do not sit closer than 3m from the rear wall
- A gap of at least 7m from the property’s rear boundary
- Roof pitch should match that of the existing property
- The build doesn’t include a balcony, platform or veranda
- Materials used that match up with the current property exterior
- Side windows obscured or non-opening below a height of 1,7m
Local authorities in Basingstoke, Guildford and the surrounding areas will be able to provide a full specification of these parameters, and our extension builders work within them to keep a project inside permitted development.
From the foundations up, we build to satisfy the needs of our customers.
The Benefits of Permitted Development Extensions
Permitted development extensions contribute to a more streamlined build to eliminate much of the planning process, which can consume time and cost the customer more money. By avoiding planning approval, there is far less expenditure on application fees and other planning requirements. We want to provide greater flexibility in our service delivery, and this is made possible when permitted development substitutes for a traditional planning process.
Extending will still add resale value to your property, and it is relatively easy to find out if a proposed build falls within your permitted development rights.
Permitted development extensions allow us to manage the build but without complex communications with your local planning department. This is an option that is especially well suited to the construction of rear-facing or side-return extensions where it is easier not to exceed the specified parameters.
From Basingstoke to Guildford and in all surrounding areas, we make building an extension a simpler affair that eliminates unwelcome hassle and stress.
