Local to Rutland
Towns we cover in Rutland include Oakham, Uppingham. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
Planning and approvals in Rutland
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.
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).

Common questions in Rutland
Who do I contract with in Rutland?
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 Rutland?
Yes, across the whole of Rutland. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does this take for a Rutland home?
2–5 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Who are building control?
Either your local council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Both inspect the work and issue the completion certificate.
Full plans or building notice?
A full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, which we usually recommend for extensions. A building notice is quicker to submit but carries more risk if something needs changing on site.
