Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Yateley?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Yateley.
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. 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 Yateley like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Yateley, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Yateley
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 much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Yateley?
As a guide, £2,020–£3,020 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²): about £60,500–£90,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Yateley house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Yateley?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
