Two-storey rear extension in Cheadle
For homes in Cheadle, 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.
Cheadle is covered from our Staffordshire round, including ST10. In Staffordshire 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 Cheadle?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Cheadle 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. 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 Cheadle like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Cheadle. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
