Two-storey rear extension in Cheadle Hulme
A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We design, get the approvals for and build two-storey rear extensions in Cheadle Hulme and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Cheadle Hulme is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including SK3, SK7 and SK8. In Greater Manchester 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 Cheadle Hulme?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Cheadle Hulme 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. 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 Cheadle Hulme like to extend?
Cheadle Hulme has long runs of terraced houses with back yards and alleys, plus 1930s semis further out. Yard extensions on terraces are often single-storey and close to both boundaries.
