Two-storey rear extension in Bedlington
For homes in Bedlington, a two-storey rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Bedlington is covered from our Northumberland round, including NE22, NE24 and NE62. In Northumberland we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Bedlington?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Bedlington 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 Bedlington like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Bedlington. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.
How a two-storey rear extension in Bedlington comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Approvals
Permitted development check, prior approval or planning application, then Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations, plus party wall notices where they apply.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.
