Planning to extend, convert, or reconfigure after you buy?
This report gives you an early, expert look at what’s realistically possible — and what’s likely to get blocked — before you commit to the property.
We review the key alteration types buyers often consider (rear extensions, lofts, side builds, internal changes, outbuildings) and assess their potential against local planning rules, constraints, and site context. We also flag hidden risks like conservation areas, tree protections, party wall implications, and awkward boundaries.
You’ll receive a practical breakdown of:
What changes are likely to be approved
What ideas may require careful design or negotiation
What’s probably a non-starter
Any design or cost implications worth knowing now
It’s not a planning application — it’s a clear, early-stage guide to help you decide whether this property suits your future plans.
