Garden annexes in Lytham St Annes

Covering Lytham St Annes

Lytham St Annes is about 12 miles west of Preston. We also cover Blackpool (6 miles to the north-west), Southport and Thornton-Cleveleys.

Homes in the North West

The North West has long rows of Victorian terraced houses in its towns and cities, alongside inter-war semis and post-war estates, so rear extensions, dormer lofts and kitchen extensions are common projects.

What goes into a garden annexe?

We design annexes as permanent buildings with proper foundations, insulation and services, and we prepare the planning case showing how the annexe will be used as part of the main home. Connections for water, drainage and power are planned from the start.

Do you need permission for a garden annexe in Lytham St Annes?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

A self-contained annexe used for sleeping and living normally needs planning permission in England. Permitted development for outbuildings does not cover living accommodation.

What should I think about before starting?

The annexe normally has to remain part of the main household, not let as a separate home.
A level threshold and wider doors make the annexe suitable for later life.

What are the steps?

Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

What people ask before starting

Can I rent the annexe out?

Usually not without a separate planning permission, because councils normally require it to stay part of the main house.

Can you make it wheelchair accessible?

Yes. Level access, wider doors and a level-access shower can be designed in from the start.

Can you visit a house in Lytham St Annes to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
