Two-storey rear extension in Bloxwich
For homes in Bloxwich, a two-storey rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Bloxwich sits in the West Midlands, with postcode districts including WS2, WS3 and WV12. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Bloxwich best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Bloxwich?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Bloxwich.
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. 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 Bloxwich like to extend?
Bloxwich has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
