Extensions on Alcester housing
The postwar and modern housing around Alcester was built with usable gardens and, on the semis and detached houses, side access, which makes the rear kitchen extension and the side extension into the gap straightforward jobs. Many single storey rear extensions fall within permitted development, subject to the size limits, and the foundations are set by a trial hole because ground in the Arrow valley varies. Our quote includes the building control fees and inspections through Stratford-on-Avon District Council.
In the conservation area around the High Street and Henley Street, and on any listed building, an extension needs an application, matched materials and a design that sits behind the house rather than beside it. It is a longer process and we set that out at the survey. Because one project lead runs every trade, a job that uncovers old foundations, a well or an unexpected drain carries on rather than stalling, and the drive and garden can be finished by the same team afterwards.

Carter Langfold spent 5 days last week correcting a mess done by another Company in an attempt to remove spray foam from loft. The team led by Manager Marcus were brilliant throughout the week.
Was very happy with the service provided. Very friendly lads and made sure I was happy with the completed job before they left. Would recommend the use of this company.
Very pleased with the professionalism & standard of work provided.
Questions
Extensions in Alcester, answered straight
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Alcester?
On the estates, a single storey rear extension within the limits is often permitted development. In the conservation area or on a listed building, assume an application is needed. We confirm with Stratford-on-Avon District Council before anything is drawn.
How deep will the foundations be?
It depends on the ground, which varies around Alcester, and on nearby trees. A trial hole and the building inspector decide it at survey stage, and it is in the quote before we start.
Can you do the driveway at the same time?
Yes, and it is the sensible order: the extension first, then the drive, so the levels and the drainage are designed together and the frontage is not dug up twice.
