Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a single-storey extension cost on Mersea Island?

Expect £150–300 per square metre depending on ground conditions, structural works, and material choices. Mersea Island's coastal location may affect drainage and foundation requirements, increasing complexity.

Do I need planning permission for an extension on Mersea Island?

Most rear extensions under permitted development rules don't need permission. West Mersea's Conservation Area and older properties often require formal consent. Check with Colchester Borough Council early.

How long does an extension build take on Mersea Island?

Single-storey extensions typically take 12–16 weeks. Two-storey builds or listed properties can take 20+ weeks depending on structural works, weather, and council inspections.
