Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares.

How do I check an engineer is Gas Safe registered?
You can check any engineer's registration and the categories of gas work they are qualified for on the Gas Safe Register website using their licence number, which they should be able to provide and which should also appear on their ID card.
Can plumbing and heating work be included in a wider building project?
Yes. Plumbing and heating is commonly integrated into extension, renovation and new-build projects and is coordinated with the wider building programme rather than scheduled separately.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
