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

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 Sutton Coldfield?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.

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 Sutton Coldfield?
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Sutton Coldfield house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
