What needs to be considered

• Planning Permission (or does the works come under permitted development so that you do not need planning permission or are you in a conservation area that needs special consideration),
• Building Regulation approval (all structural works need to be designed and calculated so that they are safe and comply with Building Regulations),
• What is the best design/layout to suit your needs and the style of your house)
• What is your budget, what is it going to cost and how will you fund it
• Will you need an agreement with your neighbour before work starts under The Party Wall etc Act 1996
• How will you choose the right builder for the job
