Rear extensions · Brighton & Hove

Rear extensions in Brighton.

A rear extension in Brighton usually means drawing the kitchen and the garden into one room. We design it around light and the way the family moves, take it through Brighton & Hove City Council, then build it.

How the path runs in Brighton

The Plan Hub takes rear extension work in Brighton from first idea to a finished room. Brief, measured survey, design, planning, then the build itself, in order, held by one team that owns the thread.

Brighton & Hove City Council is the authority that decides any application in Brighton. We prepare the drawings and manage that submission. Once it is approved, our own team builds it.

Common questions

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Brighton?

Some rear extension work falls under permitted development, but limits on size, height and materials apply, and they are tighter in conservation areas and on Green Belt land. Brighton & Hove City Council is the authority that decides any application or issues a lawful development certificate for Brighton. We prepare the drawings and manage that submission for you.

What does the design and planning stage involve for a rear extension?

It runs in order: brief, a measured survey of the house, design, then the planning submission to Brighton & Hove City Council. One team holds the thread through each step, so nothing is dropped between people. Once it is approved, that same team builds it.

Does The Plan Hub build the rear extension as well?

Yes. We design the work, take it through planning, then build it. The same team that drew your rear extension manages the trades and runs the site in Brighton through to completion. If you would rather take the drawings to a builder of your own, you can. The choice stays yours.
