Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Newark on Trent?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Newark on Trent is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Newark on Trent like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Newark on Trent. 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 Newark on Trent
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.
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.
What is the 45-degree rule?
Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.
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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Newark on Trent?
Including NG23 and NG24, and the surrounding Nottinghamshire area.
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.
