This page explains some of the key points you need to consider when undertaking various domestic projects. While our building company assists you every step of the way, it is important for you to know the main requirements.
When planning domestic building work, you need to know what you can do. Many projects fall under permitted development, which means you don’t need planning permission. However, you must meet certain requirements.
For example, house extensions over a certain size will need approval before work begins. You will also need permission for house construction in Sevenoaks, but most property renovations will not require planning permission.
It is important to consider the impact any work will have on neighbouring properties. Party walls are the boundaries between two buildings or properties, and if you want to carry out work near or on the boundary, you must tell your neighbours. Our extension and new house builders always consider surrounding buildings and areas, helping avoid potential problems.
There is a set process for party wall agreements and resolving disputes, and our construction company can offer advice on party wall issues in Sevenoaks.

Having worked on all kinds of properties over the years, our construction company can help with specific planning requirements to ensure your project is fully compliant.
