Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Guisborough?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Guisborough is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Guisborough like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Guisborough. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Guisborough
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.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
What postcode areas do you cover around Guisborough?
Including TS14, and the surrounding North Yorkshire area.
Do you handle building control in Guisborough?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Guisborough?
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.
