Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Heanor?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Heanor 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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Heanor like to extend?
Heanor has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Heanor
What postcode areas do you cover around Heanor?
Including DE75, and the surrounding Derbyshire area.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
What is the 45-degree rule?
Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Heanor house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
