House extensions, loft conversions and building regulations drawings across Newbury and West Berkshire, where many of our past projects are.
Orange Key has worked in West Berkshire for many years, and many of our past projects are in and around Newbury. We design house extensions, loft conversions, renovations and new homes, and prepare the planning and building regulations drawings for each.
Newbury has Victorian terraces close to the town centre, established suburbs such as Wash Common and Speen, and a wide spread of more recent housing. Around the town, villages from Kintbury to Chieveley have period cottages, farmhouses and barns, where extensions and conversions need to sit comfortably alongside the original building.
Planning applications in Newbury are decided by West Berkshire Council. A large part of the district's countryside lies within the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, where permitted development rights are more limited and design is closely scrutinised. The town centre and many villages also have conservation areas.
“At The Millers House we designed a contemporary glazed extension to a period family home, taking the project from concept through to a successful planning submission.”
The Millers House — a house extension project by Orange KeyFor most homeowners in Newbury, a project starts with house extension plans or loft conversion plans. Where a proposal needs consent we prepare the planning permission drawings and manage the application, and once it is approved we produce the building regulations drawings your builder and building control need.
We also design renovations, barn conversions and change-of-use projects, and prepare Land Registry lease plans for solicitors and landlords. If you are budgeting for a project, our house extension cost guide is a good place to start.
We work throughout the area around Newbury, including:
We also provide architectural design in Andover and architectural design in Oxford, and across the rest of Berkshire — see all the areas we cover.
We provide architectural design, house extension plans, loft conversion plans, planning permission drawings and building regulations drawings for homes in Newbury and the surrounding villages.
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development, but homes in the North Wessex Downs or a conservation area often need planning permission, as do most two-storey extensions. West Berkshire Council decides applications.
Yes. Our projects in West Berkshire include The Millers House in Kintbury, where we designed a contemporary glazed extension to a period family home.
Fees depend on the size and complexity of the project and on whether planning permission is needed. We give a fixed quote once we understand the property and what you want to achieve.
