Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Hucknall?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Hucknall.
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. 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 Hucknall like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Hucknall. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Hucknall
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 you handle building control in Hucknall?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
Is the site visit in Hucknall free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Hucknall?
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
