Narborough is a village located in the county of Leicestershire, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles southwest of Leicester, the county town. Narborough is a part of the Blaby district and falls within the East Midlands region. The village of Narborough has a long history, with evidence of human habitation in the area dating back to Roman times. Today, it is a thriving community with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Some notable landmarks in or near Narborough include Narborough Hall, a Grade II listed building that dates back to the 16th century, and Narborough Railway Station, which provides transportation links to Leicester and other destinations.

A planning application was produced and submitted to Blaby District Council Planning Department for a single-storey rear extension and new roof lights on the rear roof slope.  The application also showed replacement windows on the submitted plans as the property is located in a designated Conservation Area and as such any change in styles requires formal approval.  A Heritage Statement was submitted alongside the applicatrion to demonstrate the imnpact of the proposal on the Conservation  area was acceptable.

​

Planning consent was subsequently received and construction started.   The owner then switched their attention to he front of the property and a year later they approached En-Plan again to produce an application for a new lounge and porch extension to he front of the property as well as a loft conversion.  This again received approval and construction has now been completed.  

​

The application sailed through the planning process and En-Plan subsequently gained approval for a new porch and lounge extension to the fore that will breath life into the front of the house and augment the existing living space.

​

This applications and subsequent construction has added real value to the property in terms of financial value and quality of life for the owners .  If you would like to see how we can help you improve your home please contact us for a free consultation.
