Two-storey rear extension in Bingley

We cover Bingley (BD16) as part of our West Yorkshire work. In West Yorkshire we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Bingley?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Bingley is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Bingley like to extend?
Bingley has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Bingley
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Bingley?
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 Bingley free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
Do you handle building control in Bingley?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
