Garage Conversions and Property Extensions in Burgess Hill | 5 Projects That Don’t Need Planning Permission

One of the best ways to simplify home improvements is to choose a project which does not need planning permission. Luckily, under permitted development rights there are plenty of projects you can complete without having to apply for planning permission. This includes certain property extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions as well as home renovations and refurbishments.

Below, our builders highlight 5 popular projects we undertake for customers in Burgess Hill and the surrounding areas. As long as they fall within set criteria, you will not need planning permission.

Loft Conversions

Many attic conversions do not require prior consent, allowing you to extend your living space with minimal hassle. Generally, rooflight and dormer conversions do not need permission, so you can add plenty of natural light as well as head- and floor-space.

Attic conversions are an ideal alternative to property extensions if you want to minimise costs and disruption and preserve your garden.

Garage Conversions

If you wish to convert an attached garage in Burgess Hill, you will likely be able to do so without planning permission – only around 10% of garage conversions require an application. Bear in mind, a detached garage conversion is more likely to need permission.

Home Renovations

There are many alterations you can make to your home under permitted development. Renovations can include building conversions, such as garage and loft conversions, but this is not all our builders do. You should not need planning consent for internal alterations, such as building or removing interior walls.

This means you can alter the layout, open up space and change rooms.

Property Extensions

It is definitely possible to build a house extension in Burgess Hill without planning permission, but there are strict criteria the project must meet. Even some double-storey extensions fall under permitted development!

To extend without the need for planning permission, we also recommend considering loft and garage conversions.

Interior Refurbishments

When it comes to interior works, you generally have freedom to do what you want. Of course, you can update things like flooring and the colour of the walls, but our builders can help personalise your home even more.

Our home renovations and refurbishments include kitchen and bathroom refurbishments to improve the look, feel and function of these spaces. We also carry out second fix carpentry, such as architraves and skirting boards.
