Two-storey rear extension in Aylestone
Two-storey rear extension in Aylestone: a larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Aylestone is covered from our Leicestershire and Rutland round, including LE1, LE2 and LE3. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Aylestone best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Aylestone?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Aylestone needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Aylestone like to extend?
Aylestone has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.
