Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Cinderford?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Cinderford follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 Cinderford like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Cinderford, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Cinderford
Can you match the brick or stone on my Cinderford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is the site visit in Cinderford free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Cinderford?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Cinderford?
