Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Featherstone?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Featherstone 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. 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 Featherstone like to extend?
Featherstone has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Featherstone
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Featherstone?
As a guide, £1,800–£2,700 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²): about £54,000–£81,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the 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.
Is two-storey cheaper per square metre than single-storey?
Usually yes, because the foundations and roof are shared across twice the floor area. The total cost is higher.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Featherstone?
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Featherstone?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Featherstone house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
