Packington lies just south of Ashby-de-la-Zouch and is well within the area Measom Building Services Ltd has worked since 1998.
It is a village with a substantial older core, so extensions here often involve matching existing brickwork and working around construction that predates modern foundations. That is straightforward enough when it is established up front.
We are based in Woodville and accredited by the Federation of Master Builders. Every project is managed from the first consultation to the final finish by the same team.

The full range is available in Packington and the villages around it. Every project starts with a free, no-obligation consultation.

Local Know-How
Planning & Building Regulations in Packington
Packington is in the North West Leicestershire district, so planning applications and building control go to North West Leicestershire District Council. Packington Parish Council is consulted on applications affecting the village.
Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development and need no application. Building regulations approval is separate and applies to almost all structural work. We handle the process with you and work alongside Building Control at each inspection.

FAQs
Packington — Common Questions
Is Packington in a conservation area?
A good part of the village is. Packington is one of the 28 conservation areas in the North West Leicestershire district and the council publishes an appraisal for it. Being inside shapes materials and window styles rather than preventing you extending.
Who decides planning applications in Packington?
North West Leicestershire District Council. Packington Parish Council is consulted on applications in the village. The district council makes the decision.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Packington?
Not always. It turns on the size, height and position of the extension and on whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development. 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. The two are separate. 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 approval even under permitted development.
How much does an extension cost in Packington?
There is no honest single figure and we would rather not quote one. Cost turns on the size and shape of the extension, ground conditions and foundations, how much glazing you want, the finishes and whether drainage needs moving. We give a written quotation after a free consultation at the property.
Do I need to tell my neighbours before work starts?
If you are building on or near a shared boundary, or excavating close to a neighbouring property, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may require you to serve notice. That is separate from planning permission. We will flag it if we think it applies, so it is handled early rather than becoming a dispute mid-build.
How do I get a quote for work in Packington?
Get in touch and we will arrange a free consultation at the property. We will talk through what you want to achieve, look at what is practical and give honest guidance on cost and timescales before you commit to anything.
