Can I extend a house in Brentwood?
An Essex council beside Havering, with Green Belt around the town.
Places people mean include Brentwood, Shenfield, Ingatestone.
Shenfield and Brentwood are the stations people use. Many houses are suburban. The countryside around them is often Green Belt, so the edge of town is a different test from the middle.
We research Brentwood’s public register.
What you could probably build
Before you offer, or before you talk to an architect or planning consultant, enter the address. We check what was approved and refused on similar homes nearby. You get a simple report, with a verdict for each common job, such as a rear extension or a loft conversion.
Questions
Can I order a report in Brentwood?
Yes, when the address is in Brentwood. Enter it at checkout. We check what similar homes nearby were allowed to do, using the public planning register, and you get a simple report.
How soon is a Brentwood report?
We email you when it is ready. Timing is described on the questions page and in the terms.
Does this page tell me if my extension will be allowed?
No. This page is about the area. The report is about one address. Check with the council. Rules change, and every house is different.
