Local knowledge

Aldridge includes established suburban streets, larger detached homes, mature gardens, a historic conservation area and a close relationship with surrounding Green Belt countryside. Proposals need to respond to the original house, street character, trees, access, parking and neighbouring amenity.
Hepburn Architects can support the project from early feasibility and planning strategy through to Building Regulations drawings and consultant coordination. The appointment is tailored to the property, approval route and information already available.

Common questions
Planning and architectural services in Aldridge.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Aldridge?
Some extensions can be permitted development, but the size, height and position, previous additions, planning conditions, conservation status and proximity to protected land must be checked first.
Can I build a two-storey side extension?
Potentially. The design normally needs to address side spacing, roof form, setback, the risk of a terracing effect, neighbour amenity and whether the extension remains subordinate to the original house.
Can you assess a replacement dwelling or garden plot?
Yes. We can review the lawful site position, access, Green Belt or settlement policy, trees, landscape, character, neighbouring amenity and likely development capacity before preparing a full proposal.
Can Hepburn Architects handle both planning and Building Regulations?
Yes. The appointment can include measured survey, feasibility, design, planning submission and a coordinated technical drawing package for Building Control and contractor pricing.
