Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Hinckley?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Hinckley 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 Hinckley like to extend?
Hinckley has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Hinckley
Is the site visit in Hinckley free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Hinckley?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can I add an en-suite upstairs?
Yes. We plan the soil pipe route early so the bathroom sits where drainage works without boxing through the room below.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Hinckley house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
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.
