Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber
Stone-built terraces are typical of many West Yorkshire towns, while red brick dominates in Hull and much of South Yorkshire, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension here.
What is 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.
- Design and planning application

What approvals does a garden annexe need in England?
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 Morley homeowners check first?
- A level threshold and wider doors make the annexe suitable for later life.
- Council tax treatment depends on who lives there; check with your council.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
