Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber
Across Yorkshire and the Humber, older stone and brick terraces sit alongside inter-war semis and newer estates, and dormers and rear extensions are designed to suit each.
What is included in a new-build home in Batley?
We can take a plot from feasibility through planning, detailed design, building regulations, construction and handover, or build to a design and planning permission you already have. The structure can be traditional masonry or timber frame, and we work to the energy and ventilation rules that apply to new homes in each nation.
- Plot appraisal and feasibility
- Design, planning application and discharge of conditions
- Groundworks, services and drainage connections

How is a new-build home approved in Batley?
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.
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 can change the price or programme?
- Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
- Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
- 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.
New-build homes: common questions
Is VAT charged on building a new house?
Building a new dwelling is usually zero-rated when done by a VAT-registered builder. We confirm the position for your project.
Do I need a structural warranty?
If you need a mortgage or may sell within ten years, a structural warranty or professional consultant’s certificate is usually required.
Who deals with the council for a project in Batley?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
