Things you need to consider
Building style is a key aspect of all extensions and it’s crucial that what you add to your property is consistent with what’s already there. Get it wrong and you can find that the newly built space looks unseemly and can degrade the overall look of the building.
It’s really important to also consider those around you. If planning permission is required for instance, it’s vital to take into account the effect it may have on the privacy and their access to light of neighbouring premises. It’s always best to discuss your plans with your neighbours beforehand. Like them, you need to be sure that what’s being planned will be in keeping with not just your own house but also with other houses in the area.
