Swannington is a village west of Coalville with its own parish council, and it falls comfortably inside the area Measom Building Services Ltd has worked since 1998.
Village properties tend to come with more room to extend than town ones, but also with more variables — older construction, private drainage in places, and access that needs thinking about before a lorry arrives. We look at all of it before quoting.
We are accredited by the Federation of Master Builders and based in Woodville, a short drive away. Most of our work comes from repeat customers and recommendations, which is the part of the job we are most pleased about.

Local Know-How
Planning & Building Regulations in Swannington
Swannington is in the North West Leicestershire district, so planning applications and building control go to North West Leicestershire District Council. Swannington Parish Council is consulted on applications in the village without deciding them.
Many single storey extensions fall under permitted development and need no application. Building regulations approval is separate and applies to almost all structural work regardless. We handle the process with you and work alongside Building Control at each inspection stage.

FAQs
Swannington — Common Questions
Do you work in Swannington and the surrounding villages?
Yes. Swannington is well within our area, along with Whitwick, Thringstone, Ravenstone, Coleorton and the rest of North West Leicestershire. If you are unsure whether we reach you, call and ask.
Who decides planning applications in Swannington?
North West Leicestershire District Council. Swannington Parish Council is consulted and its views are taken into account, but the district council determines the application.
Is Swannington in a conservation area?
No. Swannington is not among the district's 28 conservation areas. That said, individual properties can be listed or carry other restrictions, so it is worth confirming your specific address with the council.
Do I need planning permission for a village extension?
Not always. Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development depending on size, height and position. Larger or two storey work more often needs an application. We will tell you what we think applies at the free consultation.
Does a rural property bring any extra considerations?
Sometimes. Private drainage, septic tanks, site access for deliveries and ground conditions all come up more often outside the towns. None of it is unusual, but it is better identified at survey than discovered once work has started.
How do I get a quote for work in Swannington?
Get in touch and we will arrange a free consultation at the property, discuss what you want to achieve and give you honest guidance on cost and timescales before you commit.
