Home Extensions
Recent trends and guidance from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and related architectural sources for Home Extensions emphasise several key aspects:
Design Integration and Space Optimisation: Extensions are increasingly designed to seamlessly blend with the existing structure while maximising utility. Popular options include single or double-story rear extensions, ground-floor kitchen extensions, and
wraparound designs. Symmetric Architecture recommends engaging early to explore creative layouts that can increase floor space by up to 50% for any Home Extensions without significant disruption.
Permitted Development Rights (PDR): Many extensions can be built without formal planning permission if they fall under PDR. Ground-floor rear extensions of up to six meters (for semi-detached homes) or eight meters (for detached homes) are common under these rights, as long as they respect local guidelines.
