Working in Hinckley
Our survey diary covers Hinckley, including LE10. Neighbouring towns we cover include Earl Shilton (4 miles), Wigston (12 miles), Leicester (12 miles), Coalville (13 miles).
Nuneaton, in Warwickshire, is roughly 4 miles from Hinckley and also on our list. The East Midlands has plenty of inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses with room to extend, alongside Victorian terraces in the towns.
Who this service is for
- Anyone who wants fixed designs before getting build prices
- Homeowners at the very start of a project
- Projects that need a planning application or other approval
Will the council need to approve it?
In England the main routes are permitted development (ideally confirmed with a lawful development certificate, £274), larger home extension prior approval (£249, 42 days) and a householder planning application (£548, normally 8 weeks), with council fees as set from 1 April 2026.
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.
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).

Common questions in Hinckley
Who do I contract with in Hinckley?
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 I need building regulations approval in Hinckley?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Hinckley 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 I need an architect?
Not necessarily. For most extensions an experienced designer or architectural technologist is enough. For listed buildings or complex sites an architect’s input can help.
How much do extension plans cost?
Our design packs range from about £1,100 to £5,250 including VAT, from planning drawings only to a full pack with building regulations drawings, structural calculations and 3D views. Council fees are separate.
