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.

Planning and building rules in Selby

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

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

What can change the price or programme?

  • 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?

  1. Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
  2. Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
  3. Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
  4. Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
