Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Braunstone?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Braunstone needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Braunstone like to extend?
Braunstone has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.
