Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Wisbech?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Wisbech is set by England's householder rules and your council.
A two-storey rear extension can be permitted development in England only if it projects no more than 3 metres, stays at least 7 metres from the rear boundary, matches the existing roof pitch and has obscure-glazed upper side windows. In practice most double-storey rear extensions go through a householder planning application.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Wisbech like to extend?
Wisbech mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Wisbech
Do you handle building control in Wisbech?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Wisbech house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Is the site visit in Wisbech free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
