This addition marks an important step in our continued growth and reflects increasing demand for integrated architectural and planning support across Skipton and the surrounding rural areas.

Operating from Craven Cattle Mart, we provide professional surveying, valuation, planning and property advice to homeowners, landowners, developers, farmers and rural businesses throughout the region. Our work is firmly rooted in the local community, with a strong focus on practical, informed advice tailored to each client.

Expanding Our Architectural Offering

Kate joins us with three years’ experience in architectural practice, bringing valuable expertise that complements our surveying and planning services. She will be supporting a wide range of projects, including:

  • Barn conversions
  • Farm workers’ dwellings
  • Agricultural buildings
  • Residential extensions and renovations
  • Home improvements and alterations

Kate has experience delivering practical, well-considered design solutions for both rural and residential properties, helping clients maximise space, functionality and value while respecting a building’s original character.

Experience with Period and Rural Properties

With a particular passion for period homes and buildings with character, Kate is keen to preserve and enhance the features that make older properties unique. She has experience working with listed buildings and properties within National Park settings, where sensitive design, attention to detail and a strong understanding of planning policy are essential.

Her approach focuses on creating designs that are visually sympathetic to their surroundings while remaining practical for modern living.

An Integrated, In-House Service

Kate’s appointment allows us to further develop our in-house architectural services, working closely alongside our chartered town planners. This joined-up approach provides a straightforward “all under one roof” service, bringing together architectural design, planning advice and surveying expertise within a single, coordinated process.
