Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Fulwood?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Fulwood 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. 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 Fulwood like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Fulwood. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Fulwood
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.
Do you handle building control in Fulwood?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Does a two-storey rear extension need planning permission?
Almost always. England and Northern Ireland allow 3 metres without an application only if at least 7 metres remains to the rear boundary; Wales and Scotland are similar or stricter.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Fulwood house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
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.
