Extensions in and around Stoke-on-Trent
Our survey diary covers Stoke-on-Trent, including ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4, ST5, ST6. Neighbouring towns we cover include Newcastle-under-Lyme (2 miles), Longton (3 miles), Kidsgrove (6 miles), Leek (10 miles).
Just over the Cheshire border, Congleton is about 11 miles away. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.
Will the council need to approve it?
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 Stoke-on-Trent 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).

Your questions about an annexe extension in Stoke-on-Trent
Will my neighbours in Stoke-on-Trent 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.
Who do I contract with for an annexe extension in Stoke-on-Trent?
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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Stoke-on-Trent, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
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.
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).
