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

Two-storey rear extension questions in Kingswinford

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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Kingswinford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Kingswinford?
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.
Is the site visit in Kingswinford free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
