Not always. Many single-storey extensions and loft conversions fall under Permitted Development (PD) rights, meaning you do not need a formal planning application provided the design meets strict size, height, and placement limits. However, if your property is a flat, a listed building, or located within a Conservation Area, PD rights are often restricted or removed entirely. Even if your project qualifies for Permitted Development, we recommend applying for a Lawful Development Certificate from the council to officially prove your extension is legal, which is vital when you eventually sell the house.
A standard home extension typically takes 8 to 12 months from the initial consultation to the final handover. The architectural design, planning approval, and technical detailing usually require 3 to 5 months. Finding a contractor and navigating the tender process takes roughly 1 to 2 months. The physical construction phase generally lasts between 3 and 6 months, depending on the complexity of the groundworks, the scale of the extension, and the availability of materials.
As a homeowner (referred to as a domestic client), you have legal duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) and Building Regulations to ensure your project is built safely and compliantly. Most day-to-day health and safety management duties under CDM automatically transfer to your appointed Principal Contractor or Principal Designer. However, under updated Building Regulations, you must formally appoint a Principal Designer and Principal Contractor in writing before work begins. You are also required to provide them with any existing information about the property and, at the end of the project, sign a compliance declaration alongside your builders and designers to confirm the work meets Building Regulations.
If your extension involves excavating foundations near a neighbour's property, building on a shared boundary line, or cutting into a shared wall (common in terraced or semi-detached homes), you must comply with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. You are legally required to serve written notice to adjoining owners at least two months before structural works begin. If they dissent or fail to respond, you will need to appoint a Party Wall Surveyor to draft a formal agreement (an Award) that protects both properties during the build.
A structural engineer is typically brought in after planning permission is granted, during the technical design and Building Regulations phase. Once the architectural layout is locked in, the engineer will calculate the necessary load-bearing elements, such as steel beams for knocking through existing walls, roof timber sizing, and foundation depths. Their calculations are legally required for the Building Control application to prove the extension is structurally sound before builders can start work.
