Extending to the side

[LittleEsmeWeatherwax]

I've posted before about looking at buying a traditional double fronted property - this is still very much an option.

This style house is pretty typical to the area where I live and a few have extended to the side - double extension, set slightly back so it's not completely flush with the frontage. I'd love to know how they layout is for them. Are these kind of plans (floor plans) available on line? I literally have visions of my knocking on doors to ask! getting desperate

Check out your local councils planning department you can view plans from years ago. I have been stalking my neighbours plans as they have a rear extension that we want to replicate copy

all plans back to the 70's are online now : look them up on the planning portal

Talkinpeace I can't seem to find how to look! I've registered with the portal but getting nowhere fast!

Another option is to look on Rightmove, Zoopla etc at floor plans of similar houses that are for sale (or also sold in the case of Zoopla) in the area and that have already done the work. You get the added bonus of the photos too. I have found that quite useful when planning our extension.

PM me your local council - the district or borough - and I'll get you the link

Talkin I've finally figured it out!
1 of the houses I really want to look at IS on there but no documents registered! So no plans!! Dammitt!!

Ta for the offer though
