Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Ashby-de-la-Zouch 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 Ashby-de-la-Zouch like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
What postcode areas do you cover around Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Including LE65, and the surrounding Leicestershire and Rutland area.
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 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.
Do you handle building control in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
