Extensions, New Builds & Renovations in Staunton Harold
Staunton Harold sits on the Leicestershire side of the county boundary, north of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It falls within the area Measom Building Services Ltd has covered since 1998.
It is a historic and largely rural spot, and work here tends to be sensitive — matching materials properly and getting detailing right matters more than it does on modern housing.
We are based in Woodville, a short drive away, and accredited by the Federation of Master Builders. Most of our work comes from repeat customers and recommendations.

Local Know-How
Planning & Building Regulations in Staunton Harold
Staunton Harold is in the North West Leicestershire district, so planning applications and building control for homes here are handled by North West Leicestershire District Council rather than by Derbyshire authorities across the boundary.
Many single storey extensions fall under permitted development, but on historic and rural properties the exceptions bite more often. Building regulations approval is separate and covers almost all structural work regardless. We take you through both.

FAQs
Staunton Harold — Common Questions
Is Staunton Harold in Leicestershire or Derbyshire?
The parish is in Leicestershire, within the North West Leicestershire district, so planning and building control go to North West Leicestershire District Council. The county boundary runs close by, which is why the question comes up — the reservoir on the other side sits in Derbyshire.
Is Staunton Harold in a conservation area?
Yes. Staunton Harold is one of the 28 conservation areas in the district and the council publishes an appraisal for it. Expect materials, window styles and roof detailing to carry real weight in any application.
Who decides planning applications in Staunton Harold?
North West Leicestershire District Council. Local parish arrangements mean the area is consulted on applications. The district council makes the decision.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Staunton Harold?
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 Staunton Harold?
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 Staunton Harold?
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.
