Homes in the East Midlands
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.

Planning and building rules in Brackley
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.
Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England.
What should Brackley homeowners check first?
- Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
- Sound insulation between flats is tested on completion.

What people ask before starting
How much does a flat conversion cost?
It varies too much to give a reliable guide figure, so we price each one on survey. The reduced 5% VAT rate can apply where the number of dwellings changes.
Can you help with the planning case?
Yes. We check the council’s policies first and only proceed with a design that has a realistic chance of approval.
Who deals with the council for a project in Brackley?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
