Property Extensions
Adding space to your home can improve functionality and increase value. AA Drafting Solutions guides you through planning permission and permitted development options, tailoring each project to meet council requirements. Our property extension services include:
- Single Storey Extensions: Add valuable space at the rear or side of your property. Ideal for transforming small kitchens into open-plan social areas or adding home offices and guest rooms.
- Double Storey Extensions: For properties with the capacity for more space on both ground and first floors, these extensions maximise usable area within permitted development limits, enhancing liveability and property value.
- Loft Extensions: Dormer loft conversions make the most of unused attic space, often used to create master suites or additional bedrooms. They provide significant new floor area and increase property value.
- Outbuildings: Large outdoor spaces can be transformed with outbuildings, such as home offices, gyms, or guest accommodations. These versatile additions are designed to meet council planning and building regulations and fit seamlessly with your property.
- Basement Conversions: Often neglected, basements can be converted into functional rooms. Due to structural and safety standards, these projects generally require full planning permission, which we guide you through step by step.
AA Drafting Solutions supports each phase of your extension project, from initial technical design to planning approval application submission, ensuring a streamlined approval process.
