Builders in Streetly

Streetly sits along the edge of Sutton Park, and although the B74 postcode suggests Birmingham, it is Walsall Council that handles planning. Getting that wrong at the outset costs weeks.

The housing is predominantly inter-war and post-war detached and semi-detached, on plots wide enough that side extensions are genuinely viable rather than theoretical. That makes Streetly one of the better areas locally for adding a garage conversion plus side extension in a single scheme.

Proximity to the park means some properties back onto protected open land, which brings tree and boundary considerations into play. Worth establishing early where the legal boundary actually runs.
