Two-storey rear extension in Newport
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 Newport and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Newport and its postcode districts PO30, PO32 and PO33 are part of our Isle of Wight coverage. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Newport best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Newport?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Newport.
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. 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 Newport like to extend?
Around Newport the housing ranges from inter-war semis to 1960s and 1970s estates with good-sized gardens. Many of the newer estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history before anything is drawn.

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.
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.
What is the 45-degree rule?
Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.
