Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Brierley Hill?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Brierley Hill 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. 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 Brierley Hill like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Brierley Hill. 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 Brierley Hill
Can you match the brick or stone on my Brierley Hill house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do you handle building control in Brierley Hill?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Can I add an en-suite upstairs?
Yes. We plan the soil pipe route early so the bathroom sits where drainage works without boxing through the room below.
Is the site visit in Brierley Hill free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Brierley Hill?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
