Builder in Bexley

The Bayside plan includes the Ocean View Estate, Bexley Heritage Conservation Area. If your home is inside a heritage conservation area:

• demolition and changes to the outside of the building generally need development consent;
• the faster complying development pathway may be limited or unavailable, so many projects go through a development application;
• the design of an extension or a new home needs to respect the character of the area.

Look up your address on the Planning Portal or Bayside's maps to see whether your property is in the conservation area before you settle on a design. If it is, a sympathetic renovation or rear extension can be a practical way to add space, and we can talk through the options with you.

If your Bexley home is not in a heritage conservation area or listed as a heritage item, the usual Bayside controls apply, and some projects, such as certain new homes, granny flats and extensions, may be approved as complying development if the block and the design meet the set standards. Others go through a development application. Either way, we check the controls for your lot first, so the design suits both your plans and the rules.
