When an annexe extension makes sense

  • Relatives who need support close by
  • Homes with a large side or rear garden
  • Multi-generational families

Accessibility is cheaper to design in than to retrofit. Level access, a 900 mm door width, a level-access shower and space to turn a wheelchair can all be planned into the footprint for little extra cost.

Planning rules that apply in Daventry

In England an annexe that stays part of the household and connects to the house is assessed as an extension, but its size usually takes it beyond permitted development, so a householder application describing the ancillary use is the normal route.

In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.

Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.

Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.

Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

How the project works

Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

  1. Free site visit

    First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.

  2. Design and approvals

    Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.

  3. Fixed written price

    We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.

  4. Build and sign-off

    Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.

Common questions in Daventry

Who do I contract with for an annexe extension in Daventry?

Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.

Will my neighbours in Daventry be involved?

If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.

Can I see a price before committing to anything?

Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Daventry, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.

Can the annexe have its own front door?

Yes, many do, but it should still connect to the main house to stay clearly part of it.

Will an annexe affect council tax?

It can. Some annexes are assessed separately for council tax, with discounts or exemptions in some cases when occupied by a relative. Check with the Valuation Office Agency (England and Wales), your local assessor (Scotland) or Land & Property Services (Northern Ireland).
