Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Wallington?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Wallington is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Wallington like to extend?
Wallington is mostly 1930s semis, short terraces and post-war houses, so full-width single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are realistic on many plots. Some later estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history first.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Wallington
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Wallington?
As a guide, £2,340–£3,510 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²): about £70,000–£105,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Wallington house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can it be built on a terraced house?
Sometimes, but the upper floor is harder to get through planning on a terrace because of the effect on neighbours. A single-storey extension with a loft conversion is often an easier route.
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.
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.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
