Two-storey rear extension in Honiton
Two-storey rear extension in Honiton: a larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Honiton and its postcode districts EX14 are part of our Devon coverage. In Devon we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Honiton?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Honiton 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. 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 Honiton like to extend?
Honiton has Victorian terraces nearer the centre and post-war semis on the edges. Sloping gardens are frequent, which affects floor levels and steps down to the patio.
How a two-storey rear extension in Honiton comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.
Fixed price and build
A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the building control completion certificate.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Honiton
Can you match the brick or stone on my Honiton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
What postcode areas do you cover around Honiton?
Including EX14, and the surrounding Devon area.
Can I add an en-suite upstairs?
Yes. We plan the soil pipe route early so the bathroom sits where drainage works without boxing through the room below.
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Honiton?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
