House Extensions in Henley-in-Arden

Extensions on Henley-in-Arden housing

On or near the High Street, an extension has to satisfy Stratford-on-Avon District Council that it respects the setting of listed and historic buildings, which means materials that match, proportions that defer to the original, and often a rear position that keeps it out of view from the street. Permitted development rights are reduced in conservation areas, so the single storey rear extension that needs no application elsewhere usually needs one here. We say all of this at the survey so the drawings are worth paying for.

Away from the historic core, the twentieth-century housing around the town and in Beaudesert extends like anywhere else: a rear kitchen extension, a side extension into the gap, a double storey on the larger plots. Ground around Henley can be heavy, and the foundation depth is set by a trial hole and the building inspector rather than a standard detail. Our quote includes the building control fees and inspections, and because one project lead runs every trade, a job that uncovers old drains or an unexpected timber frame carries on rather than stalling.

What we are asked for here

• Rear extensions on period property designed to sit out of view from the street
• Matched brick, tile and joinery for conservation-area consent
• Conventional rear and side extensions on the twentieth-century housing
• Foundations designed for heavy ground and nearby trees
