What to expect locally
Terraces, semis and side returns
Red-brick terraces and inter-war semis make up much of the housing stock across Greater Manchester. Rear and side return extensions, dormer lofts and garage conversions are the projects we draw most often here.
Ten councils, ten sets of guidance
Each council publishes its own householder design guidance. Depth limits, roof styles for dormers and how close you can build to a boundary vary, so we design to the council that will actually decide your application.
Building Regulations
Every project also needs Building Regulations approval, either from the council building control team or a registered building control approver. We prepare the technical set alongside your planning drawings so there is no gap.

Quick answers
Which council deals with my application in Greater Manchester?
The one for your address: Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton or Wigan. Send your postcode and we confirm it.
Can I build a rear extension without planning permission?
Often yes, under permitted development, within limits on depth and height, unless your home is in a conservation area or permitted development rights have been removed. We confirm your route in writing first.
Do you visit properties in Manchester?
We can arrange a measured survey, or guide you through a self-survey to keep costs down. Either way your drawings are based on accurate measurements.
