Didcot

Didcot is a railway town and civil parish in the county of Oxfordshire. Although it is a parish, it has the status of a town, being overseen by the Didcot Town Council. The town belonged of Berkshire up until its transfer to Oxfordshire in 1974, caused by a boundary change stipulated in the 1972 Local Government Act, and it became a part of the newly-formed South Oxfordshire region. Having an area of 3.27 square miles and a population total of 25 140, it makes up the largest town in the brand-new district. Didcot has been labelled as one of three primary development regions in Oxfordshire, due to such developments as the 'Ladygrove' commencing in the late 1980s. The 'Ladygrove' has consisted of development work in the north and east of Didcot's railway line on marshland since the late 1980s, and the development is on task to double the amount of properties in the town. It is projected that the town will continue to grow thanks to the decision of a planning enquiry in 2006 that the development of a 3200 home project to the west of the town will begin after the conclusion of the 'Ladygrove' development. Didcot is commonly recognised for its power station, railway and train junction. The town was of strategic benefit to military logistics throughout World War 1 and World War Two because of Didcot's junction of the roads to London, Bristol, Oxford and to Southampton using the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DN&S). In 2015, Didcot ended up being the very first existing town designated as a Garden Town, which is a status that offers backing to support sustainable and environmentally-friendly town development for 15 years. For all your house upgrades make certain to make use of respected contractors in Norfolk to make particular of quality.

FAQs

Should I use concrete or timber footings?

For 2 metre solid fences it’s recommended to use concrete posts to support each panel. For smaller 1 metre fences or for picket fences with gaps between each timber piece you can use timber posts. A fencing contractor will be able to advise you on the best materials from the length and requirements of a new fence.

What types of extension are there?

There are many different types of extension. For example, you could install an orangery, flat or pitched roof extension, over-structure extension, single or double storey extension or a glass box extension. Which one of these is most suitable will depend on your existing property.

Will my extension be expensive?

It depends on the size and type of extension. Small porches or flat roof extensions are very reasonably priced. More substantial two storey extensions can be expensive. In general, the price is roughly proportional to the amount of space you add to your home.

how big can my house extension be?

The holy grail of home extensions is basically the need for additional space for living as well as leisure. However, before commencing your home extension project, you’d probably want to know just how big your new building can be. In this article, you’ll find the answer to this question which is also frequently asked by many other home or property owners in the UK.

Besides your budget, there are two other major influencing factors that can determine just how much extra room that can be added. These factors include whether you wish to carry out the extension project under Permitted Development rights which is usually for a smaller project or you’d prefer to opt for a larger project which is covered by Planning Permission.

Apart from the limitations in the size of an extension under Permitted Development, the extensions are also a lot more affordable and consumes less time when compared to the extensions under planning permission. So what exactly is the size limit for an extension under Permitted Development and the ones under Planning Permission?

For a single storey extension, the maximum size that can be constructed without having to submit an application for Planning Permission includes:

• An extension should have a maximum length of 6m, if you reside in a terraced home or a semi-detached property.

• Extensions for detached properties can have a maximum length of 8m.

• The extension built must not go beyond half your garden’s area.

• The extension should have a maximum height of 4 metres, but in the event whereby the extension is situated within 2 metres of the boundary of your property, it should not exceed a height of 3 metres.

• The extension should not be higher than the highest part of the existing house’s roof.
