Construction in Marsworth: local homes and constraints

Marsworth is a canalside village near Tring, next to the Tring Reservoirs and a flight of Grand Union Canal locks. Homes in Marsworth include cottages and farmhouses.

Conservation area status in parts of Marsworth means demolition, extensions and roof changes face tighter controls, so we plan around them early. Historic cottages may have timber frames or soft brick and flint walls, so structural changes are planned around the original fabric.

What approvals does construction in Marsworth need?

Most construction projects in Marsworth need Building Regulations approval, and many also need planning permission. New houses always need full planning permission, while some extensions can use permitted development.

Planning applications in Marsworth are decided by Buckinghamshire Council. Parts of Marsworth are within a conservation area, where some permitted development rights are reduced and extra care over materials is expected.

If the work affects a shared wall or involves digging near a neighbour's foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies too; see our guide to the Party Wall Act and the GOV.UK guide to Building Regulations approval.

We line up approvals, structural calculations and any party wall notices before work starts; see how our build process works.

Construction in Marsworth: frequently asked questions

Do you cover Marsworth?

Yes. Marsworth is about 11 miles from our base in Hemel Hempstead and sits well within the area we cover, along with nearby Puttenham and Long Marston.

What should I check before building onto an older property in Marsworth?

Check whether it is listed or in a conservation area, how the existing walls and foundations are built, and whether it uses lime mortar. The structural engineer and building control will want to see that the new structure suits the old.

Can you build a new house in Marsworth?

Yes. We build bespoke new homes, starting with a consultation on layout, specification and finishes. A new house needs full planning permission from Buckinghamshire Council and Building Regulations approval, and we build to the approved drawings.

Can you remove a load-bearing wall?

Yes. Removing a load-bearing wall needs a structural engineer's calculations for the new beam and Building Regulations approval. We prop the structure safely, install the beam on padstones and make good, so the room is ready to decorate.

Do I need a party wall agreement?

If the work affects a shared wall, or you dig foundations within 3 metres of a neighbour's building (6 metres in some cases), the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies. You must serve notice: 2 months before work on a party wall and 1 month before excavations.

What size of construction project in Marsworth do you take on?

We take on everything from internal alterations and single-storey extensions to double-storey extensions and complete new homes. No job is too big or small, so tell us what you're planning and we'll arrange a free visit.
