Planning a House Extension in Putney
Before construction begins, an extension needs the correct approvals and technical information in place. Depending on the property and design, this typically involves planning or Permitted Development, Building Regulations and Party Wall procedures.
Planning Permission in Putney
Some extensions can be carried out under Permitted Development rights, while others require planning permission from Council. The route will depend on the property, location and proposed design.
Building Regulations
Extensions must comply with Building Regulations covering areas such as structure, insulation, fire safety, ventilation, drainage and electrical work.
Party Wall Matters
For many London extensions, particularly terraced and semi-detached homes, Party Wall procedures are a standard part of the process and may require formal notices and a Party Wall surveyor.
We work closely with architects, structural engineers, Building Control and Party Wall surveyors to help turn an approved design into a properly coordinated construction project.
