Local residential architecture
Residential Architects in Moseley
Director-led residential architecture for period homes, family properties and sensitive sites across Moseley and south Birmingham.
Local knowledge
Residential architecture shaped by Moseley.
Moseley has a distinctive mix of Victorian and Edwardian homes, mature gardens and conservation-sensitive streets. Successful alterations need to improve modern family living while respecting original proportions, roof forms, materials, trees and the wider street scene.
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.

Local planning knowledge built into the design.
Moseley includes the Moseley and St Agnes conservation areas, with Article 4 controls applying in parts of both. The planning strategy should therefore be developed alongside the architecture rather than treated as a separate exercise.

Common questions
Planning and architectural services in Moseley.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension in Moseley?
Some extensions may be permitted development, but conservation-area status, Article 4 controls, the property's planning history and the size and position of the proposal must all be checked before relying on those rights.
What does the Moseley Article 4 Direction affect?
Article 4 controls can remove permitted development rights for certain external alterations. Depending on the property and area, changes to windows, doors, roofs, boundaries or other features may require planning permission.
Are trees protected in Moseley conservation areas?
Trees in conservation areas receive protection. Notice may need to be given to the council before pruning or removing a tree, and Tree Preservation Orders may impose additional controls.
Can Hepburn Architects prepare Building Regulations drawings?
Yes. We prepare coordinated technical drawings for extensions, loft conversions and residential remodelling, with structural and specialist information coordinated where required.
