Extending your home in Skelton

Skelton's village character means many of the properties we work on here are older stone or brick-built homes, where matching materials and respecting the existing character of the house matters as much as the structural work itself. Whatever the age or style of your property, the process follows our standard Home Extensions approach: rear, side return, wraparound, single-storey, two-storey and kitchen extensions, all built and managed by the same team throughout.

Planning permission in Skelton

Under City of York Council, standard Permitted Development limits apply: single-storey rear extensions up to 3 metres (semi-detached/terraced) or 4 metres (detached) without planning permission, or 6/8 metres under the Larger Home Extension scheme. Given the number of older and stone-built properties in and around Skelton, it's worth checking whether your specific property sits within a conservation area, since this can affect what materials and external changes are permitted without a full application.
