Across the East Midlands you find everything from city terraces to modern estates and stone villages, so the right extension depends a lot on the street and the materials around it.

What do you get with 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.

How is a garden annexe approved in Nottinghamshire?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

A self-contained annexe used for sleeping and living normally needs planning permission in England.

What should Nottinghamshire homeowners check first?

Drainage may need a pump if the garden falls away from the sewer.
A level threshold and wider doors make the annexe suitable for later life.
