Towns in West Yorkshire
Working in West Yorkshire
Towns we cover in West Yorkshire include Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Halifax, Dewsbury, Morley, Keighley. Homes across Yorkshire and the Humber range from back-to-back and through terraces to large suburban semis, and extension options vary with them.
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.

Planning and approvals in West 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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).
From first visit to completion
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
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Common questions in West Yorkshire
Will my neighbours in West Yorkshire 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.
Do you cover all of West Yorkshire?
Yes, across the whole of West Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in West Yorkshire?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
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 West Yorkshire.
