Hugglescote sits immediately south of Coalville and shares a parish council with Donington le Heath. Measom Building Services Ltd works throughout this part of North West Leicestershire and has done since 1998.
Much of the village is Victorian and Edwardian, with newer development around the edges. Older properties tend to need more investigation before a large extension goes on — foundations, wall construction and drainage runs are rarely where you would assume.
We are accredited by the Federation of Master Builders and based a short drive away in Woodville. That means a proper look at the property before you commit, and the same team on site from first consultation to final finish.

Local Know-How
Planning & Building Regulations in Hugglescote
Hugglescote falls within the North West Leicestershire district, so planning applications and building control go to North West Leicestershire District Council. The village is covered by Hugglescote and Donington le Heath Parish Council, which is consulted on applications but does not decide them.
Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development and need no application. Building regulations approval is a separate matter and is required for almost all structural work regardless. We handle both with you and work alongside Building Control at each inspection stage.

FAQs
Hugglescote — Common Questions
Is Hugglescote in a conservation area?
Part of it is. Hugglescote has a conservation area of its own and neighbouring Donington le Heath has another, both among the 28 in the district. The council publishes an appraisal for each. Conservation area status does not stop you extending but it does influence materials and window styles.
Who decides planning applications in Hugglescote?
North West Leicestershire District Council. Hugglescote and Donington le Heath Parish Council is consulted on applications in the village and its views are taken into account, but the decision sits with the district council.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Hugglescote?
Often not. Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, depending on size, height and position, and on whether the property is listed or in the conservation area. We will tell you what we think applies at the free consultation before you spend anything on drawings.
Do I still need building regulations approval if I do not need planning permission?
Almost always, yes. Planning is about whether the work suits its surroundings; building regulations are about how it is built — structure, insulation, fire safety, drainage and ventilation. Most structural work needs building regulations approval even when it falls under permitted development.
Can you extend an older Victorian property?
Yes, and a good part of Hugglescote is that vintage. Older houses usually need more investigation first: shallow foundations, solid walls and drainage that does not run where the deeds suggest are all common. We would rather find that at survey than halfway through the build.
How do I get a quote for work in Hugglescote?
Get in touch and we will arrange a free consultation at the property. We will talk through what you want, look at what is practical and give honest guidance on cost and timescales before you commit to anything.
