Poppleton, covering both Upper and Nether Poppleton, sits around 3.5 miles west of York on the River Ouse, roughly a 10 minute drive from our base. Like York itself, Poppleton falls under City of York Council, so the planning process and Permitted Development rules are identical to those in the city.
Poppleton has a strong mix of period village housing, particularly around the older parts of Nether Poppleton, alongside more recent family housing. We build extensions across both, matching new brickwork carefully to older properties where that matters, and working to modern building standards throughout. Every project follows our standard Home Extensions process: rear, side return, wraparound, single-storey, two-storey and kitchen extensions, all project-managed by the same local team from start to finish.

Under City of York Council, the standard Permitted Development limits apply: single-storey rear extensions up to 3 metres (semi-detached/terraced) or 4 metres (detached) without planning permission, extending to 6 or 8 metres under the Larger Home Extension scheme with prior approval. Some of the older parts of Poppleton may sit within a conservation area, which changes the position on cladding, render and some external changes, so we check this specifically for your property before finalising a design.
We're a family-run building company based in York, and we bring the same care to matching older Poppleton brickwork as we do to any period property extension. Every quote is clear and written, we keep you updated throughout the build, and we're fully insured for all domestic building work. Our 5-star customer feedback reflects consistent, honest work across York and the surrounding villages.
Excellent job from Phil and his team. Both external and internal works finished to an excellent quality. Happy to deal with changes and kept us informed on a day-to-day basis. Definitely recommend.
