Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Swadlincote?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Swadlincote follows the English householder rules.
England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Swadlincote like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Swadlincote. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
