Looking for trusted builders in Brighton? PG Property Repairs and Renovations is a Worthing-based building company working regularly across Brighton (BN1/BN2) on house extensions, loft conversions, kitchens, bathrooms and full renovations. Brighton sits on the East Sussex coast east of Shoreham-by-Sea, so we're within easy reach of every job: quick site visits, no travel surcharges, and the same team on site from strip-out to handover. Planning applications across the vast majority of Brighton — householder extensions, loft conversions and commercial changes — are decided by Brighton & Hove City Council through its Planning Portal, with most routine applications handled under delegated powers by planning officers and larger or contested schemes going to the cross-party Planning Committee. There is one important exception: properties inside the South Downs National Park boundary (parts of Patcham, Ovingdean and the immediate surrounding downs) fall under the South Downs National Park Authority as the Local Planning Authority instead, with stricter design and materials expectations. Whichever authority applies, applications are drafted, paid for and submitted through the centralised Planning Portal, and we'll confirm which side of the boundary a property sits before quoting. Large parts of central Brighton, Kemptown and Preston Park are also inside conservation areas with Article 4 directions on some streets, so permitted development rights are often restricted — we handle the planning route end-to-end where you need it. We're FMB and TrustMark approved, fully insured, with a verified Checkatrade profile. Every quote is fixed-price after a free site visit — no day-rate creep, no surprise extras.
