Having worked on everything from Newton’s worker cottages to 1930s Arts & Crafts semis in Godley, I’ve learned Hyde’s housing stock presents special opportunities:
✔ Solid Victorian construction perfect for rear extensions
✔ Generous loft spaces ideal for conversions (with the right dormer designs)
✔ Backland potential on those deeper-than-average plots
Tameside Council frequently rejects applications for:
- Unsympathetic designs that clash with Hyde’s character
- Insufficient parking plans for family-sized extensions
- Missing heritage statements for properties near the Market Ground conservation area
Our Solution: Hybrid designs that blend modern living with traditional Hyde aesthetics – like the brick-and-zinc rear extension we did on a Newton terrace that planners called "a model scheme".
Our process focuses on your goals. We use a fine tuned approach to ensuring your project has the strongest chances of gaining planning permission and being built on budget.
From my work on Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle to Hyde’s emerging markets, I understand what makes commercial schemes viable:
- Change of Use Expertise – Converting empty retail units into cafes or offices
- High-Density Residential – Maximising units on tight urban plots like those near the A57
- Industrial Refurbs – Modernising Hyde’s textile-era buildings for new industries
Current Project: Transforming a vacant Clarendon Place shop into a hybrid workspace/coffee bar – solving access and ventilation challenges specific to Hyde’s older buildings.
Every Hyde project receives our specialist architect services, including:
1️⃣ Laser Surveys – Critical in Hyde’s mix of solid and not-so-solid construction.
2️⃣ Builder-Proof Drawings – Including local material specs (that red Accrington brick Hyde loves).
3️⃣ Council Communication Service – From our years working closely with Hyde Council on Planning applications.

Having worked in the construction industry and within architecture for the last 15 years, I've seen everything from the very best to the very questionable.
My focus over the last 6 years has been on bringing the very best in energy efficient architecture and high design to the small scale.
