Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Hale?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Hale.
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 Hale like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Hale, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Hale
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
What postcode areas do you cover around Hale?
Including GU9, GU10 and GU12, and the surrounding Surrey area.
What is the 45-degree rule?
Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Hale house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
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.
