Covering Coalville
Coalville sits 12 miles north-west of Leicester, with Loughborough 8 miles to the north-east and Swadlincote 9 miles to the north-west.
Homes in the East Midlands
The East Midlands combines red-brick terraces in the cities with a lot of post-war and modern estate housing, so rear extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions are all common.
What does a knock down and rebuild involve?
We assess whether rebuilding is better value than extending and renovating, prepare the planning application for the replacement dwelling, manage the demolition notice and asbestos survey, then build the new home. The process runs much like a new build once the old house is cleared.
- Feasibility: rebuild versus extend and renovate
- Planning application for the replacement dwelling
- Demolition and site clearance

How is a knock down and rebuild approved in Coalville?
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.
This needs full planning permission from the council. We prepare the drawings and supporting documents, submit the application and respond to the planning officer.
What should I think about before starting?
- A replacement dwelling is usually zero-rated for VAT where the old house is demolished completely to ground level.
- Planning policy on replacement dwellings varies, especially in green belt and countryside.
