Rear Extension Warwick
A substantial rear extension transformed this Warwick home into a spacious, light-filled family property. The new accommodation brings the kitchen, dining and living areas together within one generous open-plan space, with extensive glazing creating a strong connection to the garden. Dark timber cladding and pitched roof forms give the extension a distinctive contemporary character while responding sensitively to its residential setting.
Childrens Home Internal Remodelling — West Midlands
An interior study for a children’s home, exploring calm shared rooms, clear circulation and a warm domestic setting with views towards the garden.
Childrens Home Garden Extension — Sandwell
A children’s-home with modest rear extension to create a brighter shared living space and a stronger connection with an enclosed garden.
Local knowledge
Residential architecture shaped by Leamington Spa.
Leamington Spa includes Regency and Victorian townscape, established suburban streets, conservation areas, listed buildings and contemporary growth areas. Residential work must balance heritage and local character with neighbour amenity, parking, landscape, flood considerations and modern standards of space and energy performance.
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.
Loft conversions and roof alterations
Roof form, dormer position, stair design, headroom, fire safety and planning controls considered together.
HMOs and residential conversions
Use class, occupancy, space standards, refuse, cycle storage, licensing and fire-safety implications reviewed from the start.
New homes, planning and technical design
Site capacity, access, landscape, context, amenity and planning policy tested before the design is fixed.
Planning in Leamington Spa
Local planning knowledge built into the design.
Leamington Spa proposals may need to address the Warwick District Residential Design Guide, the made Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan, conservation-area policies and the town-wide HMO Article 4 Direction.
Common questions
Planning and architectural services in Leamington Spa.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Leamington Spa?
Some extensions may be permitted development, but the property's location, planning history, conservation or listed status, Article 4 controls and the detailed dimensions of the proposal must be checked.
Can you design an extension to a period property?
Yes. We assess the significance and proportions of the existing building, then develop an addition that improves daily use while responding appropriately to materials, setting and neighbouring properties.
Does a small HMO need planning permission in Leamington Spa?
Yes. The Article 4 Direction applies across the whole town, so a change from class C3 to class C4 requires a planning application as well as any necessary HMO licence.
Can you help with a new home or development plot near Leamington?
Yes. We can assess planning policy, neighbourhood-plan considerations, access, landscape, flood risk, ecology, heritage and neighbouring amenity before developing the design.
