Eco Extend designs and builds eco-friendly home extensions using SIPs created with Dragonboard Eco Boards across the Liverpool City Region, including Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley, Halton and St Helens. Our modern methods of construction deliver warm, energy-efficient extensions that help homeowners reduce running costs while increasing living space and adding value to their homes.
Whether you are planning a rear, side, wraparound, flat roof, or kitchen extension, our team provides a complete design and build service from concept through to completion.
Planning rules vary across the region depending on the local council and your property type. Some extensions do not require full planning permission and may fall under Permitted Development Rights. This can apply to certain single-storey and two-storey extensions, as long as they meet government criteria. However, planning rules are different if:
Your property is in a conservation area
You live in a flat or maisonette
Your home is a listed building
You plan to build close to a highway or boundary
Your house has already been extended previously
If you are unsure whether your extension needs planning permission, Eco Extend can help. Our team reviews your plans and provides clear guidance based on Liverpool City Region planning policies.
Eco Extend offers a full planning support service to help you get your project approved efficiently. We provide:
Advice on Permitted Development options
Planning drawings and architectural design services
Submission of planning applications to local councils
Support with planning objections and revisions
Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations
Project support from design to construction
