Twycross sits in the south west of Leicestershire, and unlike most of the villages we cover it falls under Hinckley & Bosworth rather than North West Leicestershire. Measom Building Services Ltd has been building across the area since 1998.
It is a small rural parish, so plots are typically generous and the practical constraints are drainage, access and ground conditions rather than space. We establish those at the survey rather than on day one of the build.
We are accredited by the Federation of Master Builders and based in Woodville. Most of our work comes from repeat customers and recommendations.

Local Know-How
Planning & Building Regulations in Twycross
Twycross is in the borough of Hinckley & Bosworth, so planning applications and building control go to Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council. That is a different authority from most of the villages nearby, which fall under North West Leicestershire District Council — an easy and costly thing to get wrong.
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 both with you and work alongside Building Control at each inspection stage.

FAQs
Twycross — Common Questions
Which council covers planning in Twycross?
Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council. Twycross is one of the few places we work that does not fall under North West Leicestershire District Council, so it is worth double-checking before you submit anything.
Who carries out building control inspections in Twycross?
Hinckley & Bosworth delivers building control through the Leicestershire Building Control Partnership. Work is inspected at key stages and a completion certificate is issued at the end — keep it, because you will be asked for it if you sell.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Twycross?
Not always. Many single storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, depending on size, height and position and on whether the property is listed. 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 approval even under permitted development.
Do rural properties bring extra considerations?
Sometimes. Private drainage and septic tanks, access for deliveries down narrow lanes and variable ground conditions all come up more often outside the towns. None of it is unusual, but it is much better identified at survey than discovered mid-build.
How do I get a quote for work in Twycross?
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.
