Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire
Two-storey rear extension in Cleckheaton
A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We design, get the approvals for and build two-storey rear extensions in Cleckheaton and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Cleckheaton (BD19, WF15 and WF16) 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 Cleckheaton?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Cleckheaton.
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 Cleckheaton like to extend?
Cleckheaton 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.
