Two-storey rear extension in Poulton-le-Fylde

We cover Poulton-le-Fylde (FY1, FY2 and FY3) as part of our Lancashire work. In Lancashire 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 Poulton-le-Fylde?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Poulton-le-Fylde 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. 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 Poulton-le-Fylde like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Poulton-le-Fylde. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Poulton-le-Fylde
Can you match the brick or stone on my Poulton-le-Fylde house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
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.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Poulton-le-Fylde?
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.
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.
