Practical Spaces by PPCo

Smarter home extensions that skip the planning queue

If you’re planning a single-storey rear or side extension, chances are you won’t need planning permission. With Practical Spaces - our dedicated Permitted Development (PD) service - we help you take advantage of these rights to create the space you need, faster and with less red tape.

What’s included in our home extension package?

Our £1049 (inc. VAT) Practical Spaces package gives you everything you need to build under Permitted Development (PD) - no back and forth, no unnecessary extras.

Here’s what’s included:

Survey & consultation

We come to your home, take accurate measurements, check the project qualifies under PD rules, and answer any early questions.

Design & planning

We create detailed, scaled drawings of your proposed extension and discuss all options with you. Want to change something? No problem! It’s all included.

Submission

We’ll submit an application for a Lawful Development Certificate to your local council to confirm your extension is officially permitted.

Building regulations

You’ll get full building regulations drawings, approved by building control and ready for construction.

Ready to build!

With approvals in place and drawings sorted, your builder has everything they need to get started.

Is this package right for you?

Use this quick checklist to see if your home extension might qualify for our Practical Spaces Permitted Development home extensions package

1. Are you planning a single storey rear or side extension?



2. Is it less than 3m (semi‑detached/terraced) or 4m (detached)?


2. Is it less than half the width of the original footprint of your house?


3. Do you wish to use similar materials to the existing house? e.g. brickwork or render to match existing
