WHY PLAN A HOME EXTENSION?

A well-planned home extension can transform how you live in your home. From open-plan kitchens and dining areas to additional bedrooms, home offices, or sunrooms, extensions allow you to adapt your space to suit your evolving needs. With rising property prices and the cost of moving, extending your current home with quality extension planning in the Wirral is often a more practical and cost-effective option.

In addition to improving day-to-day functionality, extensions can significantly boost the market value of your property. Whether it’s a single-storey rear extension, a two-storey addition, or a side return, a thoughtfully designed extension is an investment in both your home and lifestyle.

MM Architectural Services offers comprehensive home extension planning in the Wirral, tailored to properties across the area. Our services include:

Free Initial Consultation

Site Analysis and Feasibility Assessment

Concept Design and Space Planning

Detailed Architectural Drawings

Planning Permission Applications (if required)

Building Regulations Drawings and Submission

Coordination with Local Authorities and Consultants

Every project we handle is personalised to reflect your vision, budget, and the specific characteristics of your home. We also provide honest, professional advice on how best to meet your goals within the legal and structural constraints of your property.

DO YOU NEED PLANNING PERMISSION?

Many home extensions fall under permitted development rights, meaning permission for extension planning in the Wirral is not always required. However, certain conditions must be met, including:

The extension does not exceed specified size limits

It is not built forward of the principal elevation

It does not exceed height and boundary restrictions

The materials are in keeping with the existing property

The property is not in a conservation area or a listed building

We guide you through all regulations and determine whether your proposed extension requires planning permission. If it does, we manage the entire application process with Wirral Council to maximise your chances of approval.

Great guy to work with, very proactive and has a great knowledge of not only architecture but all elements to construction in general. Attention to detail is spot on and the information he provides is much clearer than other architects I’ve used in the past. Would highly recommend Mike.

We appointed MM Architectural Services Ltd, to try and obtain planning permission for 6 No. houses on a piece of land, we had purchased on the Wirral. After meeting Mike and seeing some of his work we where confident to move forward with the proposed scheme. Mike produced a very detailed drawing package and guided us throughout the process from start to finish and successfully obtained planning permission. Following this we appointed Mike to produce a construction pack of drawings, which was exceptionally detailed and was also highlighted by our contractor, as the most comprehensive drawing pack they had seen. The whole process was a pleasure to work with and Mike was at hand to answer any queries, no matter what time of day.
