Planning rules that apply in Skipton
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 Skipton address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Questions people ask about annexe extensions
Who do I contract with for an annexe extension in Skipton?
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.
Do you cover all of Skipton?
Yes. We cover Skipton and the surrounding parts of North Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Skipton?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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).
Does an annexe extension need planning permission?
Usually yes, because of its size and the way it will be used. Councils check that it stays ancillary to the main house, so the application must describe the use clearly.
