Build Your Dream Property With Us
Looking for bespoke builders in Scarisbrick who can handle a substantial home with the care it deserves? Manion Developments designs and builds large-scale homes and extensions for clients across Scarisbrick, Bescar and the wider West Lancashire region. We specialise in high-value residential work and manage the process from first planning through to handover.
Scarisbrick is a distinctive place to build. The parish is one of the largest in Lancashire, a low-lying agricultural landscape between Southport and Ormskirk, with scattered hamlets, long lanes and houses set in generous plots. Parts of the parish are covered by conservation areas, including Scarisbrick Park and Pinfold, the latter centred on the crossroads of Southport Road, Pinfold Lane and Smithy Lane. Much of the surrounding land is Green Belt. Scale, drainage and the relationship with open farmland matter here. Our work is planned around those constraints, not forced through them.
We have already delivered a large multi-storey bespoke build in Scarisbrick, managed from design through to completion, including foundations, drainage, the driveway and the finished house.
We are Committed to the Highest Standards

Bespoke Builds
A bespoke build in Scarisbrick is rarely a standard house type. Clients come to us for one-off homes, substantial rebuilds and high-specification renovations that respond to the plot and the way the household actually lives. We take the design from concept through planning and technical drawings, then construct it with premium materials and a site team used to complex work.
A new dwelling on open land is not straightforward. Much of the parish sits in the Green Belt, and West Lancashire Borough Council will expect a clear planning case. Where a plot already has a house, or a replacement dwelling is realistic, we design something that sits comfortably with the lane and the wider landscape.
Home Extensions
A well-designed home extension is often the most practical way to gain space in Scarisbrick without leaving a house you already value. We design and build single-storey and double-storey extensions, rear and side additions, and larger open-plan kitchen and living spaces, including projects with bifold doors, roof lanterns and high-quality glazing.
In England, some single-storey rear extensions can be built under permitted development, typically up to 4 metres deep on a detached house or 3 metres on other houses, with a larger-home prior-approval route of up to 8 metres or 6 metres. Those rights are tighter on land which includes conservation areas, and they do not apply to listed buildings or flats. Even where planning permission is not required, Building Regulations approval still is. We check the position for your property against West Lancashire’s requirements before any design is fixed.
Complete Design and Build
Our design and build service keeps architecture, planning, technical design and construction under one team. You have a single point of contact rather than separate designers and contractors working in isolation. We prepare the drawings, support the planning application where one is needed, coordinate Building Regulations and structural design, and then build the project.
That joined-up approach is particularly useful on larger Scarisbrick commissions, where Green Belt policy, drainage, conservation-area character and finish quality all need to be resolved together. If you already have an architect, we are equally happy to build from an agreed design.

Bespoke Builders Scarisbrick – Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work in Scarisbrick?
Yes. We cover Scarisbrick, Bescar, Pinfold and the lanes between Southport and Ormskirk. We have already completed a large bespoke build in the parish, and we are based in Lydiate, a short distance away.
Do you cover Halsall, Holmeswood and the surrounding villages as well as Scarisbrick?
Yes. If the brief is a substantial bespoke build, new home or extension in this part of West Lancashire, we are happy to look at it.
Who deals with planning applications in Scarisbrick?
West Lancashire Borough Council is the local planning authority. We prepare the drawings and support the application, and we factor in Green Belt policy, neighbour impact and any conservation-area constraints from the start.
Is all of Scarisbrick in a conservation area?
No. The main designations include Scarisbrick Park and Pinfold. If your house is inside either boundary, or is listed, design and materials are looked at more closely. We check the designation for your address before advising on the planning route.
Can you build a new home on a plot in Scarisbrick?
Sometimes, but it depends on the site. Much of the parish is Green Belt, and new houses on open farmland are difficult to justify. Replacement dwellings and well-designed extensions on existing plots are more realistic. We look at the planning position before developing a design.
How much does a bespoke build or extension in Scarisbrick cost?
It depends on size, specification and ground conditions. Low-lying plots can need more careful drainage and foundation design. A high-quality single-storey extension often sits in the tens of thousands to low hundreds of thousands. A full bespoke home or multi-storey build is commonly a high six- or seven-figure project. We price from an agreed brief rather than a generic rate per square metre.
Will I need planning permission?
It depends on the property, its planning history and the scale of the work. Some smaller rear extensions in England fall under permitted development, but conservation-area status, listed buildings, earlier extensions and Article 4 directions can remove those rights. We confirm the position for your house before design work progresses.
Do Building Regulations still apply if planning permission is not needed?
Yes. Planning and Building Regulations are separate. Structural work, drainage, electrics, insulation, ventilation and fire safety all need to meet the Building Regulations and be signed off by Building Control, whether or not a planning application is required.
Can you match traditional materials on a period property?
Yes. Where the house or the lane calls for it, we specify brick, stone, slate, render and joinery that sit comfortably with the existing building. Contemporary additions are also possible when the design is justified and the planning case is sound.
Will you work with our own architect?
Yes. Some clients use our full design and build service. Others already have an architect and appoint us to manage and construct the approved design. Either route works, provided the drawings are buildable and the specification is clear.
How long does a Scarisbrick project take?
A substantial extension often takes several months on site once approvals are in place. A full bespoke new build or replacement home commonly runs from 12 to 24 months, depending on size, specification and the planning programme. We set out a realistic timetable once the brief is clear.
Do you work with clients who already have an architect?
Absolutely. While many clients choose our full design and build route, we are equally happy to collaborate with independent architects and designers already appointed by the client.
