Do I need planning permission for an extension in Hounslow?

Most standard extensions in Hounslow qualify as Permitted Development — single-storey rear up to 3m/4m, side extensions up to half the width of the house, under standard national rules. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas need full planning permission. We confirm eligibility at the free site survey.

How big can a rear extension be in Hounslow under permitted development?

Standard permitted development allows single-storey rear extensions up to 3m (attached house) or 4m (detached) in Hounslow. Larger extensions up to 6m/8m are allowed under Prior Approval (Class AA). Flats, listed buildings and Article 4 areas in Hounslow are excluded from these PD rights.

How much does a house extension cost in Hounslow?

Our fixed-fee architectural package starts at £1,225 for a Hounslow extension (planning + building regs + structural). Typical Hounslow build costs are £2,400–£3,500 per square metre including VAT — so a 25m² side return extension is £60,000–£87,500 to construct.

Can I do a basement extension in Hounslow?

Hounslow does not have a borough-specific basement policy beyond the national framework — basement conversions are generally permissible subject to structural, drainage and flood-risk considerations. Thames Water Build Over Agreements apply where you're within 3m of a public sewer.

Do I need a side return extension or a rear extension in Hounslow?

Most Victorian terraces in Hounslow (particularly in Chiswick) benefit from both — a side return extension infills the narrow side passage to create a wider kitchen, a rear extension projects back into the garden. A wraparound combines the two. We recommend the best option at the free site visit.

What type of extension suits Hounslow houses best?

Hounslow's edwardian villas in Chiswick and Turnham Green terraced and semi-detached stock typically suits rear single-storey extensions (kitchen-diners), side-return infill extensions, or double-storey rear. Wraparound extensions combine both directions for maximum gain. We recommend the most viable option at the free site visit.

What postcodes do you cover for extensions in Hounslow?

We cover all Hounslow postcodes — {postcodes} — with local surveyors. Survey appointments within 3 working days. Fixed fees — no hourly billing.

How does Hounslow Council approach extension design?

Hounslow Council follows the London Plan and its own Local Development Framework. Extensions must match or complement existing materials, respect neighbour amenity and comply with Part L. We include a Pre-Application Advice summary where the planning history is complex.
