Do I need planning permission in North Yorkshire?
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.
The planning position for a specific North Yorkshire address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
Local to North Yorkshire
Towns we cover in North Yorkshire include York, Middlesbrough, Harrogate, Scarborough, Redcar, Selby, Northallerton, Ripon. Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.
Who an annexe extension suits
- Homes with a large side or rear garden
- Relatives who need support close by
- 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.
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.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Common questions in North Yorkshire
Do I need building regulations approval in North Yorkshire?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for North Yorkshire, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of North Yorkshire?
Yes, across the whole of North Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does an annexe extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,880 to £3,570 per m² including VAT. A one-bedroom annexe of about 35 m² is typically £78,500 to £99,000 at standard spec in North Yorkshire.
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).
