Local to Earl Shilton
Site visits are available across Earl Shilton (LE9). We also work in nearby Hinckley (4 miles), Leicester (9 miles), Wigston (9 miles), Oadby (10 miles).
Nuneaton, in Warwickshire, is roughly 7 miles from Earl Shilton and also on our list. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
Planning rules that apply in Earl Shilton
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

When a conservatory replacement makes sense
- Homes where the conservatory sits unused
- Older uPVC conservatories near the end of their life
- Conservatories that are too hot or too cold
A replacement is a chance to rethink the shape. Many conservatories are oddly proportioned; for a similar cost the new room can often be squarer, wider or better connected to the kitchen.

Common questions in Earl Shilton
Do you cover all of Earl Shilton?
Yes. We cover Earl Shilton and the surrounding parts of Leicestershire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Earl Shilton?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Earl Shilton 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.
Is it worth replacing a conservatory with an extension?
If the conservatory is unusable for much of the year, usually yes. A solid extension gives a heated room that counts as proper living space. Our guide range is about £1,760 to £3,320 per m² including VAT, including removal.
Does replacing a conservatory need planning permission?
A solid replacement is treated as a new extension, so it must meet the permitted development limits or get planning permission, and it always needs building regulations approval.
