Extensions in Norwich
Homes in Norwich
Housing across the city varies a great deal, and that variety decides much of what an extension involves. The old core of Norwich holds a large number of listed buildings, and altering any of them needs listed building consent. If your street lies in a conservation area, the permitted development rights that cover many single-storey rear extensions are narrower there. Around the centre, Victorian terraced streets give way to twentieth-century suburbs, and on houses like these a modest rear extension within the size limits may not need a full planning application at all.

What matters for extensions in Norwich
Before we price anything, we need a clear picture of the house, the space you are after and how the new part will link to the rooms already there. If the extension is one piece of a larger renovation, say so in your first message. The reviewer shown beside this page praised the lads for being friendly, polite and reliable.
- Find out first whether your house is listed or inside a conservation area, as both change what is allowed.
- Get in touch on WhatsApp, by phone or through the enquiry form with the location and a rough description of the extension.
- We then look at the property, the space you want and where the new room meets the existing house.
- The completed extension has to meet the Building Regulations for its foundations, structure, insulation and drainage.
Questions about extensions in Norwich
Will a rear extension on my Norwich house need full planning permission?
Not always, as many single-storey rear extensions come under permitted development rights, and as long as they stay within the size limits no full planning application is required. Those rights are more restricted in a conservation area.
What changes if my house in the old centre is listed?
Any work on a listed building needs listed building consent, on top of meeting the Building Regulations. Tell us the house is listed when you first get in touch.
Is Norwich too far away for you?
Not at all, the city is about 22 miles north-west of our base, inside the range our building work covers, so we do take on extensions in Norwich.
