We cover Great Wyrley (WS6) as part of our Staffordshire work. 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 Great Wyrley?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Great Wyrley 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 Great Wyrley like to extend?
Great Wyrley has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
