Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in The Boldons?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in The Boldons.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in The Boldons like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of The Boldons. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in The Boldons
How long does a rear extension take to build in The Boldons?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Is the site visit in The Boldons free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can it be built on a terraced house?
Sometimes, but the upper floor is harder to get through planning on a terrace because of the effect on neighbours. A single-storey extension with a loft conversion is often an easier route.
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 you handle building control in The Boldons?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
