Local know-howWest Yorkshire

What to expect locally

Stone-built homes

Much of West Yorkshire is built in local stone, especially in Bradford, Calderdale and the Pennine towns. Councils expect extensions to respect it, so materials and roof pitch are drawn and specified carefully.

Conservation areas and heritage

The area has many conservation areas and protected heritage sites, including Saltaire in Bradford. If your home is in one, the design is judged more closely and some permitted development rights do not apply.

Back-to-backs and through-terraces

Terraced housing, including back-to-backs in parts of Leeds and Bradford, brings particular limits on extending. We find the route that works within them.

Not sure what applies to your address?

Send your postcode and what you are planning. You get the route, the drawings you need and a fixed price in writing, usually the same working day.

Common questionsLeeds, Bradford & Halifax

Quick answers

Which council covers Halifax?

Calderdale Council. Bradford, Leeds, Kirklees and Wakefield each cover their own districts. Send your postcode and we confirm yours.

Do I have to match the stone on my house?

Councils across West Yorkshire usually expect extensions to match or complement the main house, especially where it is stone-built or in a conservation area. We specify materials that give your application the best chance.

Can you help with a loft conversion in a terraced house?

Yes. Dormer and hip-to-gable lofts are common here, and many can be done under permitted development. We confirm the route and draw both the planning and Building Regulations sets.
