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

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Aldridge
Can you match the brick or stone on my Aldridge house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Aldridge?
As a guide, £1,800–£2,700 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²): about £54,000–£81,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Is two-storey cheaper per square metre than single-storey?
Usually yes, because the foundations and roof are shared across twice the floor area. The total cost is higher.

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 Aldridge free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Aldridge?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
