Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Stone?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Stone follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 Stone like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Stone. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

Two-storey rear extension questions in Stone
How long does a rear extension take to build in Stone?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
