Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Fleetwood?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Fleetwood.
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. 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 Fleetwood like to extend?
Fleetwood 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.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Fleetwood
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Fleetwood?
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.
Do you handle building control in Fleetwood?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Fleetwood house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is the site visit in Fleetwood free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
