Levenshulme's Victorian and Edwardian terraces either side of Stockport Road have become some of the most popular homes in south Manchester. They have good proportions and plenty of potential, but many still have small rear kitchens and unused lofts.

We help Levenshulme homeowners make the most of that potential with extensions that open up the back of the house, loft conversions that add a bedroom, and renovations that bring older homes up to date without losing their character.

Popular projects in Levenshulme

A rear extension or side return extension is the most common way to add a family kitchen in Levenshulme, and an L-shaped dormer is the go-to loft conversion for terraces with an outrigger. Many clients also take the chance to carry out a full renovation.

Planning permission in Levenshulme

Levenshulme is covered by Manchester City Council. Most terraces keep their permitted development rights, so 3 metre single-storey rear extensions and rear dormers within the volume limits often do not need planning permission. Because the houses share walls, party wall notices are nearly always required.

Read our guides to extensions without planning permission and loft conversion planning rules for more detail.

Building work in Levenshulme: FAQs

More answers on our FAQ page.

Can I extend my Levenshulme terrace without planning permission?

Often, yes. A single-storey rear extension up to 3 metres deep is usually permitted development on a terraced house. Larger extensions can use prior approval.

Do I need to tell my neighbours about my extension?

If the work involves a shared wall or digging foundations close to their house, you must serve party wall notices. We help you do this properly.
