Planning & permissions
The planning context in Bathwick
Most streets are Article 4(2) — exterior-facing work (windows, vents, even some chimney work) needs consent. Many individual properties are Grade II listed. Interior refits are generally fine; exterior venting can need Listed Building Consent or Conservation Area consent.
Typical extension opportunities
Rear basement lightwells (under pavement for natural light) are a common Bathwick pattern. Small single-storey rear extensions are possible but limited by conservation-area PD rights. Side-return extensions are rare due to terraced layouts.
