Two-storey rear extension in Rugeley
A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We design, get the approvals for and build two-storey rear extensions in Rugeley and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Rugeley is covered from our Staffordshire round, including WS15. 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 Rugeley?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Rugeley.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Rugeley like to extend?
Rugeley has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
