Rear and side extensions are a great way to add living space to your home. From eye catching feature rooms to the more practical functional needs. They can create beautiful open plan kitchens with large bi fold doors letting the garden and light in.

More modest sized extensions can enhance the rooms you already have and work well with internal alterations. Toilet and utility spaces can allow better comfort and get the noisy washing machine out the living areas. Our York based architectural design professionals will talk to you in depth about your needs. Every design needs to come from what you want to gain, can be built and passed by both planning and building control. Your budget will also come into the equation along with on site issues. We will perform a thorough walk over survey before sitting with you to advise.

Potential issues on site should be established such as shared boundaries, party walls, sewers, is it a listed building or in a conservation area?

Planning Permission

Once the size and layout has been determined around the practical requirements such as access, integration, impact on existing spaces. With the size and layout, we will then explore roof options, tiled mono pitch, dual or ridged, hipped or flat roofs. Then we add the finishing touches with you discussing and displaying options around glazing and the important wow factors.

We keep up to date with trends and new material finishes, plus cheaper alternatives that have similar effects.

Single Storey Extension

Most single storey extensions can be built under permitted development, see guide below. We shall give you the necessary advice and where necessary make permitted development enquiries.

Building an Extension #1 - How to set out

Here at CK Architectural Leeds we shall ensure we know exactly what is legally required to be in place before you begin any building. Our clear planning application drawings present your design with necessary scales, site maps, etc to validate the application. An extension or addition to your house is permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission, subject to the following limits and conditions: No extension forward of the principal elevation or side elevation fronting a highway.

No extension to be higher than the highest part of the roof. Single-storey rear extension must not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house size by more than three metres if an attached house or by four metres if a detached house. These increased limits between 3m and 6m and between 4m and 8m respectively are subject to the prior notification of the proposal to the Local Planning Authority and the implementation of a neighbour consultation scheme.

If objections are received, the proposal might not be allowed.
