House Extensions
in Weybridge

Extensions in Weybridge range from modest additions to Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis to substantial schemes on detached houses with large plots. Allow 10 to 14 weeks on site for a single-storey rear extension; a double-storey or wrap-around scheme takes longer, at 16 to 24 weeks. Around Beechwood Avenue, Broom Way and Cleves Wood, where plots average 0.2 hectares, there may be room for a side or wrap-around extension as well as a rear one. On St George's Hill, plots were historically no smaller than an acre, and its designation as a special low density residential area means the scale of an extension against its plot is likely to be weighed carefully.

Elmbridge assesses householder applications against its Design Code, adopted in April 2024, and each one needs the Design Code Checklist. At Templemere the council advises that extensions are difficult, and in the other conservation areas side and two-storey extensions fall outside permitted development. About 57% of Elmbridge is Green Belt, where an extension that needs permission must stay proportionate to the original building, and houses near the Thames at Hamm Court should be checked on the Environment Agency's flood map. From 1 April 2027 the new East Surrey Council decides applications, and we confirm the route for your house before design.
