House Extension Planning Permission in
Bedworth
Extension rules in Bedworth aren’t as simple as yes-or-no on planning permission. Depending on size, position, and whether your property sits in a conservation area, your project could be permitted development, need Prior Approval, need full permission, or involve a genuine mix of all three. We work out exactly which for your specific Bedworth project.

There are genuinely three different routes an extension in Bedworth might take: straightforward permitted development with no application needed, the faster Prior Approval process for larger single-storey rear extensions (a 42-day decision rather than the usual 8 weeks), or a full planning application where neither of the first two apply.
Getting this wrong in Bedworth is a common, expensive mistake – either building without permission you actually needed, or paying for a full application when a faster, cheaper route was genuinely available. Our desktop study establishes which situation actually applies to your project before you commit to anything.
Every Bedworth project gets a proper desktop study first, checking permitted development limits, Prior Approval eligibility, and any local restrictions specific to your property before we recommend anything.

How We Help in Bedworth
Every Bedworth enquiry gets a genuine assessment, not assumption – checking permitted development limits against your specific proposal, and whether your property’s history affects what’s still available to you.
Once that’s clear, we handle exactly what your Bedworth project needs, prepared properly whether that’s a straightforward Prior Approval submission or a full application.
Once anything’s submitted for a Bedworth project, we follow it through properly – staying in contact with the council and responding to queries as they arise.
Why Bedworth Homeowners Start With A Desktop Study
Assuming the wrong thing about your Bedworth extension – permission needed when it isn’t, or not needed when it genuinely is – is a costly mistake. Our desktop study replaces assumption with an actual, specific answer for your property.
Our advice on Bedworth extensions reflects what your specific project genuinely needs, not what generates the most billable work. If permitted development covers you, we’ll say so plainly.
We’d rather give you the complete, accurate picture of your Bedworth project upfront – including where it’s a genuine mix of routes – than a simplified answer that misses something important.

House Extension Planning Permission FAQs for Bedworth
What are the permitted development limits for an extension in Bedworth?
Standard single-storey rear extensions can usually go up to 3 metres (terraced/semi-detached) or 4 metres (detached) without planning permission, with larger extensions up to 6-8 metres possible under the Prior Approval route – your desktop study confirms exactly what applies to your Bedworth property.
Is Prior Approval faster than planning permission in Bedworth?
Prior Approval is a faster route (42 days rather than the usual 8 weeks) for larger single-storey rear extensions that exceed standard permitted development limits but stay within extended ones – your desktop study checks whether your Bedworth project qualifies.
Does living in a conservation area affect my Bedworth extension?
Conservation area properties in Bedworth generally have reduced permitted development rights, which is exactly the kind of local factor our desktop study checks before recommending a route.
Can I still use permitted development if my Bedworth house has been extended before?
This is a genuinely common issue in Bedworth – if the property’s already been extended, remaining permitted development allowance may be reduced or gone entirely, which your desktop study checks.
Can part of my Bedworth extension be permitted development and part need permission?
It’s a genuinely common outcome for bigger Bedworth projects – our desktop study breaks down each element rather than giving one blanket answer for the whole extension.
Is the initial assessment free for Bedworth projects?
The desktop study itself is completely free for Bedworth projects – it’s the first step before any decision about applications or fees, so there’s no cost to finding out where you stand.
