What Kind of Work Comes from Planning Applications?
These are the types of construction projects that planning submissions in Staffordshire often lead to:
Home Extensions
Rear and side extensions – popular in suburban areas like Burton and Tamworth.
Loft Conversions
Dormers, hip-to-gables and attic builds – especially in areas with smaller footprints like Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Garage & Outbuilding Conversions
Conversions into living space or annexes – often requiring full internal refits.
New Builds & Infill Developments
Self-build plots and multi-home sites ideal for builders and multi-trade teams.
Annexes & Garden Rooms
Studios, lodges and guest spaces – requiring groundwork, electrics and insulation.
Roof Alterations & Replacements
Structural changes, re-roofs and Velux installs — often approved via planning applications.
