Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in West Bridgford?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in West Bridgford follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 West Bridgford like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of West Bridgford. 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 West Bridgford
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in West Bridgford?
As a guide, £1,750–£2,620 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²): about £52,500–£78,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Do you handle building control in West Bridgford?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my West Bridgford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
