House Extensions FAQs — Somerset

Do I need planning permission for a house extension in South Somerset?

Many single-storey rear extensions in South Somerset qualify as Permitted Development and do not need full planning permission. However, rules vary depending on your property, whether it is listed, and whether it is in a conservation area — which is common in Somerset. We advise on this for free as part of our initial consultation.

A standard single-storey extension in South Somerset takes approximately 10–16 weeks from groundworks to completion. A double-storey extension typically takes 16–24 weeks. We provide a detailed programme of works before starting so you always know what to expect.
