House extensions, loft conversions and building regulations drawings for homes in Witney and the villages of West Oxfordshire.
Witney is a short drive from our Burford base, and we design house extensions, loft conversions and renovations across the town and its surrounding villages, preparing the planning and building regulations drawings for each.
Witney mixes a historic stone-built centre around Church Green and the Market Square with large areas of post-war and modern housing, including more recent estates such as Madley Park and Deer Park. The newer homes often suit rear and side extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions; the older centre calls for a more careful approach.
Planning applications in Witney are decided by West Oxfordshire District Council. The historic core of the town is a conservation area, and some villages to the west and north fall within the Cotswolds National Landscape, where permitted development rights are narrower. On newer estates it is also worth checking whether permitted development rights were removed by a condition when the estate was approved.
For most homeowners in Witney, 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 Witney, including:
We also provide architectural design in Burford and architectural design in Oxford, and across the rest of Oxfordshire — 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 Witney and the surrounding villages.
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development, but not always. Homes in the conservation area, and some newer estates where permitted development rights were removed, need planning permission. We check your property before design work starts.
Many houses in Witney, particularly semi-detached and detached homes, are suited to a loft conversion. Head height, roof structure and staircase position decide what is achievable, and we assess these early.
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.
