Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a second story extension?
Yes, in most cases a second storey extension will require planning approval. This process allows the proposed design to be assessed against local planning policies, including height limits, setbacks, overlooking, and streetscape considerations. With experienced design and construction professionals involved, planning approvals can be managed efficiently to ensure the extension complies with regulations and integrates seamlessly with its surroundings.
Can I live in my home while the Second storey is built?
In many cases, clients are able to remain living in their home during a second storey extension. This is largely dependent on the scope of works and the extent of disruption to the ground floor, including structural modifications, services, and access requirements. Where feasible, construction can be staged to minimise impact, and this will be carefully assessed and discussed during the planning phase.
