ANNEXE CONSTRUCTION
If you want to extend your home to house young adults, independently minded teens, or elderly parents, building an annexe is the perfect solution! It will give them both proximity to you and their independence.
WHAT IS AN ANNEXE?
By definition, an annexe is a building associated with your main house. Most times, an annexe offers occupants independence. Most people’s annexe includes a living room, self-contained bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom area which allows elderly relatives to live in the annexe without any need to visit the main house often.
If there is an unused garage or an old outbuilding detached or attached with adequate space for an additional living space, you can convert such garage or outbuilding into an annexe for independent living.
This type of conversion requires no planning permission. What this means is that all old outbuildings completed under Permitted Development (PD) do not require any planning permission to be converted into new uses. If your local planning authorities refuse to grant you consent for a new residential annexe, to build an outbuilding in compliance with PD guidelines, you can later convert it into new use without any permission.

DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR AN ANNEXE?
You need planning permission before you can build any habitable annexe in your home garden. However, you do not need one to build a summer house, garage or shed. One good way to think about the whole thing is that if you are building a garden house for habitation, you will need planning permission irrespective of the shape and size of the building. Your local planning portal or council can help you with more information on the issue of planning permission. You can also reach out to the Conversion Kings on 07975 718322 for all vital information on building any type of annexe in Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset or further afield.

We were unsure about where to even start with the loft conversion that we wanted to do. I can honestly say that The Conversions Kings made it so simple for us, they organised the planning permission, put us in touch with an architect and instructed the structural engineer and building inspector. From there they helped us design the perfect loft conversion to our specific needs and then carried out the work efficiently and honestly. Thank you Jeff and Lory.
After being refused planning permission for an extension to our house we contacted The conversion Kings as we had heard good things about them and understood that they did garage conversions. Jeff was so knowledgeable about the current building regulations and planning permissions; we were able to have our garage converted instead giving us a much bigger extension than we originally planned.
With our expanding family we decided it was time to create more space, a loft conversion wasn’t an option and we did not have enough of a budget for a full extension. We approached The Conversion Kings about a garden annexe, they designed one for us after an initial free consultation which we loved! They were able to organise all the planning and trades needed to carry out the work. We are very pleased with the finish. Many thanks to Lory and Jeff.
