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.

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.
