Two-storey rear extension in Snodland
For homes in Snodland, a two-storey rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Snodland is covered from our Kent round, including ME6. In Snodland, a two-storey rear extension is worth comparing with the cost of moving once stamp duty, agents' and legal fees are counted.

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

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Snodland
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Snodland?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
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.
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 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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Snodland house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
